Happy Halloween!

We know it got a little snowy up here in Minnesota, but we hope you have an excellent day ahead of you!

While we’ll have much more to share in the coming months, take a look at some of the upcoming deadlines and updates for CONsole Room 2024: Bigger on the Inside!


PROGRAMMING: CALL FOR PANELISTS DUE NOVEMBER 5

We want to hear from you! We’re looking for panelists – both pre-recorded and live, virtual and in-person – for our 2024 programming. Take a look at our list of panel possibilities, then fill out our panelist interest form to sign up.

Learn more about our registration options on our Panels page.

POLICY UPDATE: COVID-19 POLICIES FOR 2024

The health and safety of this fantastic community continues to be at the forefront of our minds. Please make sure you have reviewed our updated 2024 COVID-19 policy so that you know what to expect when our convention arrives. Thank you for your continued support of our convention and community!

Learn more about our updates on our Policies page.

GUESTS: SNEAK PEEK AT TWIN CITIES CON

We have more guests to announce, but we’re sharing a sneak peek at Twin Cities Con this weekend (November 3-5) first! Come visit us at table T18, then stay tuned on social or here on our website for announcements in early November.

REGISTRATION: VIP MEMBERSHIPS END ON DECEMBER 3

VIP memberships are a great way to amp up your CONsole Room experience with exclusive access and goodies. Because of this, there’s only a limited number available and the registration window for VIPs ends a little earlier than our other memberships.

Learn more about our VIP memberships and other registration options on our Registration page.

HOTEL ROOM BLOCK IS OPEN!

CONsole Room returns to the HILTON MSP AIRPORT/MALL OF AMERICA HOTEL and our room block is currently open!

Staying at the hotel is a great way to help the convention, but also gives you a home base for the weekend, a place to watch virtual panels, and easy access to local amenities

Staying at the convention hotel puts you within arm’s reach (so to speak) of everything the convention has to offer, cozy and relaxing hotel amenities, and more.

Our room block is open until a couple weeks before the convention or until full, whichever comes first. Book your home away from now!

Learn more on our HOTEL PAGE or go to the HILTON HOTEL WEBSITE to book your room now.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: JOIN OUR CONVENTION COMMITTEE

Did you know CONsole Room Events is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization? We are truly an event created by the fans for the fans – and we’re looking for additional volunteers to join our team! Whether you’re new to volunteering or a convention veteran, we’d love to hear from you.

Some of the roles that are currently open can be found below:

    • Art Show Team Members: Partner with the Art Show Lead to assist with running the Art Show experience, including pre-event set-up, at-con set-up and take-down, and sales during the convention.
    • ConSuite Team Members: Partner with the ConSuite Lead to assist with running the ConSuite experience, including pre-event set-up, keeping the space clean and re-stocked, directing additional volunteers, and serving fresh food as needed.
    • Escape Room Team Members: The Escape Room team would help update the Escape Room experience for 2024 and run the Escape Room during the convention.

If you are interested in one of the roles above or want to learn more, please contact our volunteer department at volunteer@console-room.org.

If you have a role you might be interested in that isn’t listed above, either before the convention or during the con, please still feel free to reach out. Volunteers are always welcome!

More information about volunteering can be found on our I Want to Help page.

We’ll be sharing all kinds of updates, announcements, and Whovian fun over the coming months while we ramp up to our 11th annual convention.

Stay tuned on social media, via email, and here on our website to make sure you don’t miss a thing, then get ready to join us in January either in-person or online!
