Kinetic Fire is a 4 day fire performer’s paradise, designed to provide a fun and open-share communal environment in which spinners from all over the Mid-West and the world can learn, teach, and advance together in the spinning arts. A sister event to FireDrums, Kinetic Fire focuses heavily on a strong participant led workshop program, spread across a diverse range of object manipulation and fire related disciplines. Fire enthusiasts of all skill levels are encouraged to participate in this rare opportunity for growth and development as a fire artist, with other motivated members of the fire family.
Kinetic Fire will host a plethora of regional, national, and international talent, but the most important part of Kinetic Fire is YOU! Have a skill you would like to share?

Not exactly. Those are a listing of all the events (with the exception of elemental artistry) that are being put on, (although there has been no public confirmation of this) by one group/company/organization. It is not a complete listing, heck one could argue that Burningman is the biggest fire performing event of they year, not to mention all of the regional burns and it/they is/are not in your list.
It seems more like advertising on the wildfire forum than a comprehensive list, just something to keep in mind

Why do you assume these events are being put on by the same group/company/organization? After reading about each events history, I was under the impression that they were created and maintained by independent volunteers. I don't think these people are advertising, it seems more like sharing.

I should have been more specific here. These events listed focus primarily on object manipulation. I agree this isn't a comprehensive list of events where fire dancing is performed. These events are 100% about fire performing for fire performers.
Obviously, Burning Man (and regional burns) are working on something bigger than just fire dancing.

Every event on that list is the product of the fire community working together to build and grow itself.
Some of the events you listed have similar organizers, and do overlap in some areas. However they are definitely not put on by one "group" or "company"

The design of the websites are nearly identical (ex - survival guide, layout, class schedule), as are the use of photographs from Wildfire that appear on the KineticFire website. The one privacy policy that you can read is on PacificFire's website and states

While I agree that the organizations may not be linked, the WF website was recently changed so that a person that was a member of WF was automatically on the email lists of the other events. I don't know about the other events, but this was the email we got.

Unless they were all part of the same entity this would seem to run afoul of the privacy policy.
The events as far as I know were created by separate people, but I don't know about the maintenance.
All this being said, the events still look wicked and I wish I had the free time to go. Props to everyone who helps make these events happen. Hopefully this makes sense

To the best of my knowledge there are four groups of people that create the events listed above. Most of them hired the same website host/builder, thus resulting in the similarities of these websites =]

Its the same web design company (Chad) for them, that doesn't mean they are the same group. But yes they all work together.
The spinning community takes everyone to help build it what it is, none of these events would be anything without us all working together.
I'll be at Kinetic, FireDrums, Campfire, and Pacific fire this season, hope to see ya'll out there.
