CON.TXT 2021 Update

Unfortunately, in-person CON.TXT 2021 has been cancelled.

Residence Inn Pentagon City, the hotel that has hosted CON.TXT since 2016, is closing permanently in September 2020. An in-person event in summer 2021 was already an uncertain proposition, and having to scout for a new hotel this fall sadly makes it impossible.

If you have already paid your registration for 2021 or had your 2020 in-person registration rolled over to 2021, you are welcome to request a refund through Eventbrite (Refund FAQ). If you did not register through Eventbrite, please email a refund request to registration@con-txt.net and provide the name you registered under and your PayPal email address. You also have the option to roll your registration over to the next paid CON.TXT (no need to email us if you choose to go this route).

We are currently focusing on CON.TXT 2020, and we're not yet sure how we will proceed for 2021 or 2022. We will be looking at our options and asking for your feedback after CON.TXT 2020--which is next Saturday, July 25th, and we hope you'll join us!

Please look for another update about 2021 toward the end of August.

Very sad news!! I miss your faces!

A note though: I don't need a refund now and am happy to wait until a decision is made about future gatherings, but according to the Eventbrite site refunds come from the event organizers, not them.

I'm so sorry to hear about concomm's troubles, but I'm glad you're keeping everyone safety in mind (including your own!).
