Upcoming Deadlines: Vendors, VIP, Ventures, and More!

Whether you’re planning to attend as a VIP, vendor, or virtually, please look below for some of our upcoming deadlines and reminders:

  • VENDOR SPACES STILL AVAILABLE: A limited number of Artist Alley and Dealers Room spaces are still available. If you are interested, please visit our website for more information and to apply.
  • DEC 30: VIP MEMBERSHIPS: We have extended access to VIP Memberships, which are available for in-person attendees only, through our pre-sale cutoff of January 14, 2022. However, if you are interested in receiving your VIP shirt at the convention, please be sure to register as a VIP no later than December 30!
  • DEC 31: ROUND 1 COMMEMORATIVE SHIRT ORDERS: Commemorative shirts are now available to order through December 31! While we can’t guarantee that these will arrive in time for the convention, the estimated delivery date we have received is January 19. A second ordering opportunity will open in January.
  • JAN 6: HOTEL BLOCK: Our hotel block at our convention hotel is open through January 6 or until full, whichever comes first. Staying at the hotel not only helps support the convention’s use of this hotel space, it also gives you easy access to local amenities, a personal “home base” throughout the con, and more.
  • JAN 14: LAST DAY FOR IN-PERSON PRE-REGISTRATION: Purchase your membership early so that you’re ready to go when the convention arrives!
  • JAN 15: LAST DAY FOR ART SHOW ONLINE SUBMISSION: Our Art Show will be on display in-person during our convention. If you are interested in submitting art, please visit our website for guidelines.

Commemorative Shirts Now Available

CONsole Room 2022 is drawing near, and ordering for our commemorative shirt is now available! Whether you’re joining us in person or virtually, remember the fun from our 2022 convention with a commemorative shirt. Keep reading to learn more!

Please note: VIP registrations for 2022 include a commemorative shirt. If you have a VIP Membership or pre-ordered a shirt at our 2020 convention, you will receive a form within the next few days confirming your shirt choices and do not need to order through CustomInk unless you’d like additional shirts.

Ordering for our 2022 commemorative shirt design is open through DECEMBER 31, 2021 so that shirts can arrive prior to the convention.

  • New “Satellite 9” Design: Aligned with our theme “Satellite 9,” the new design features a satellite broadcasting some of the many activities you can find at our convention.
  • Multiple Shirt Options: You asked for multiple shirt options, and we listened! We’re bringing what we learned last year into our hybrid space and are offering the opportunity to order our souvenir 2022 shirt in six different shirt styles with sizes ranging from youth sizes to 6X (size selection varies depending on the style).
  • Pick Up and Delivery Options: All attendees have the option to have shirts delivered directly to you. If you are attending in person, you also have the option to pick up your order at the convention.

Give to the Max Day 2021

Did you know that CONsole Room is created by Console Room Events, a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization? We are a completely volunteer-run event and our funding comes entirely from ticket sales for our event and generous donations from people like you.

Thanks to your generous support, our 2021 convention this past January was a huge success! We were so thrilled with the response to our immersive digital experience and we hope you enjoyed your time, too.

As we announced earlier this year, we will be expanding on what we built in 2021 for our 9th annual convention by reimagining CONsole Room in a hybrid space. While we are excited to see people in person again and are prioritizing policies that support the health and safety of our volunteers, guests, and attendees, we recognize that not everyone will be able or interested in attending in person at this time. However, community is at the heart of everything we do, and it’s at the heart of how we are approaching a hybrid event, too!

As we reimagine our convention, we are very focused on how we can create connected experiences for everyone, no matter where they are or how they’re attending, so that all attendees feel included and part of the community.

We ask that you consider supporting our reimagined convention and ongoing efforts to create inclusive community experiences throughout the year by donating during Give to the Max on Thursday, November 18, a day dedicated to supporting nonprofits throughout Minnesota. Registrations for our 2022 convention are also open!

We appreciate your support and trust in us and we look forward to seeing you, virtually and in person, in January!
