We know you aren’t thinking about CONsole Room.    BUT, now that you are thinking about CONsole Room, please consider donating  as every dollar helps.

Since 2014, CONsole Room has celebrated Doctor Who by building an inclusive, creative community for fans of all ages.  All donations go directly toward making our convention and outreach possible.

============================

UPDATE – Your donations help support our ongoing efforts to create an inclusive community experience in 2025 and beyond. Thanks to the much appreciated generosity of a long time attendee, there will be matching donations made for the first $1000 in donations this year!

It is time to start planning our panels and events for the 2026 CONsole Room convention.

Join our brainstorm session on Saturday, September 13, 2025 from 1-3pm CDT to share your panel ideas for CONsole Room 2026.
What ideas do you have for panels and events that you’d like to see happen at this year’s convention? Got suggestions for panels featuring our guests? Other ideas that cover all aspects and areas of Doctor Who and related topic areas: music, tv shows, books, British TV, movies, audios, comics, podcasts, etc. Come and let’s talk about it!

The session will be hosted VIRTUALLY via Zoom.
Register to Attend using this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/3SRcJ9MgS_CgK-rv6rejHQ 

By registering, a Zoom link will be emailed to you for joining on the day of the meeting.

If you are not able to attend the live session, you can still share your ideas with our programming team by emailing programming@console-room.org.

Are you finding that your storage issues will only be solved by having your very own TARDIS?  Does it feel like your possessions are starting to possess you?  Would you like to be able to have more space and help out the best Doctor Who convention in the Twin Cities at the same time?

Bring your books, your comics, your action figures, your models, your costumes, along with anything else you’d like to get rid of to the CONsole Room Community Garage Sale, taking place Saturday, July 19, 2025!  Anything that’s sold as part of the garage sale that day will help fund CONsole Room 2026: The Power of Who. At the end of the day, any “fandom” items remaining will be donated to the Geek Partnership Society (@GeekPS) for their ongoing auctions. All other remaining items will be donated to Goodwill, Savers, and/or other local donation locations.

To Donate Stuff: please fill out this form so we know what to expect. Plan to bring your items that Saturday morning between 8am and 9:30am to the sale location.

To Lend Tables: please fill out this form. Plan to drop off tables earlier that week, or on Saturday morning with your other donations.

To Volunteer: please fill out this form. We can always use more people for set up and tear down, as well as people throughout the day to help visitors and reset stuff. Volunteering for this event counts as hours towards volunteering at the convention as well!
