PHILCON 2020 IS SWITCHING TO A VIRTUAL FORMAT
Philcon 2020 will be switching to a virtual convention. There will be no in-person Philcon at the hotel in 2020. The current limitations on meetings imposed by the State of New Jersey would not permit Philcon to proceed at the hotel.
All hotel reservations which have been made in one of Philcon’s hotel blocks will be cancelled automatically by the hotel, although you should check to make sure that has happened. If you made a reservation outside the Philcon block, or through a third party vendor, you will have to contact them to request a cancellation.
We are planning on conducting a Philcon in 2021 at the Cherry Hill Crowne Plaza. The dates of Philcon 2021 will be November 19 to 21, 2021. Our scheduled Principal Speaker, Max Gladstone and our Artist Guest of Honor, Romas Kukalis, have graciously agreed to join us in 2021, and may also, schedule permitting, participate in the online Philcon 2020.
More information about the online Philcon 2020 will be made available soon.
If you have purchased a membership in Philcon 2020 already, it will be carried over to Philcon 2021. You may request a refund of your membership in Philcon 2020, or if you are interested in supporting our virtual convention, you may donate your membership. We are a 501(c)(3) organization. We can be contacted at info2020@philcon.org
