It's officially eight days until the start of CON.TXT! You may have seen on Twitter that we've added a Friday evening event on the 24th that will be held on Zoom at 8pm EDT. It'll be an informal hangout, so bring a meal, a drink, or your pets (or all three!). We'll give you a brief rundown of what to expect on Saturday, you'll have a chance to ask questions, and then we'll play Small Fandom Speed Dating.

If you haven't encountered Small Fandom Speed Dating before, it's basically The Dating Game with small fandoms instead of bachelors. You get to drag people into your small fandoms or find the new small fandom of your heart! It's great.

If that sounds like your jam, please help us by filling out this sign-up form. It's non-binding! If it doesn't sound like your jam, you're welcome to stay and observe or log off early.

A few housekeeping items
  • If you are not yet registered on Conline and want to attend the con, please do so ASAP! Go to https://conline.club/login/ and log in with your Google, Twitter, or Facebook account. Then go to https://contxt.conline.club/ and click the "Join" link on the top right. More info here.
  • We haven't yet resolved the issue of bouncing Yahoo and AOL emails with our web host--we're so sorry, and we'll definitely get it fixed before the next con. If you use Yahoo or AOL, you can email us at contxtcon@gmail.com.

This year's schedule of panels and activities is ready and you can see it on CON.TXT Conline now! You can also see the list of panels, minus the schedule grid, at con-txt.net. Thanks to all our fantastic volunteer panel mods! We'd like to highlight a few things that are different this year:
  • There will be no DIY panel time slots - but we'll have general chat channels in Discord where you can organize your own!

  • All panels will be 50 minutes long

We are still working out some small details like adding co-mods, but this schedule is basically final - so go take a look!

As a reminder, you will have to register on Conline if you want to attend the con: more info here. Moreover, if you're a panel mod but have not signed up on Conline, your name won't be listed on your panels until you have done so.

We're also excited to announce that the CON.TXT 2020 vid show will feature 10 premieres!

Registration is still open (and free!) and will be through July 24th, so sign up if you're mulling it over!
