Volunteer Applications Open Now!

Hi all,

Are you interested in getting involved at DashCon 2? Maybe you slept through ticket sales, are passionate about guillotine safety, or volunteered last year? Well, you’ll be happy to know that in-person volunteer applications for DashCon 2 are now open!

APPLY NOW!

(https://forms.gle/gSMtgmoYMqNXwZ8z6)

DashCon 2 is almost entirely a volunteer-run operation, and last year we were lucky enough to have over 200 incredible people to keep the convention running smoothly. We rely on our volunteer team for things such as managing lines, scanning tickets, operating AV equipment, and standing vigil over the ball pit. Volunteering is a great way to meet other Tumblrinas, pick up new skills, get a free t-shirt, and help make DashCon 2 the best it can be!

We welcome applicants of all experience levels! There’s a lot that goes into this event, and we appreciate every single person willing to take the time to make it happen. Volunteer applications will close on June 8th, 2026, at 11:59 PM. Volunteer Team leads will hear back from us between June 12th - 20th, and everyone will get a response by July 22nd. You can learn more about volunteer applications on our website.

What about Volunteering at Virtual DashCon Two?

Virtual DashCon 2 volunteer applications will open on June 5th! Stay tuned for more updates about available positions.

Volunteer for VirtualDash!

Hi from VirtualDash!

The weather is starting to heat up as we make our approach on DashCon 2 2026, and you bet our pilots are sweaty!!! We're looking to expand our flight crew with volunteers so that we're airworthy when that fated weekend hits-- to make that happen, we're looking for Panel Moderators and Discord Moderators. I'm dropping the metaphor, that was really weird.

As we all know, DashCon 2 can't happen without our volunteers, and the same is true from VirtualDash. Last year, we had a team of moderators led by one of our co-founders, and while they did an amazing job, we've been expanding both IRLDash and VirtualDash to the point that we need the support from our community now more than ever! If you've got the experience, or the audacity to learn, we would be incredibly grateful to receive your volunteer application.

APPLY TO VOLUNTEER FOR VIRTUALDASH

All of our VirtualDash volunteer guidelines, stipulations, and perks can be found in the above form! any questions, comments, or concerns can go to our ask box, or to [email protected].

The VirtualDash volunteering form will be open until June 14th, at Midnight EST. If you've already applied to be an IRL volunteer, you can also apply to volunteer with VirtualDash! We'll be working closely with the IRLDash volunteering team to avoid any overlap or complication.

Thank you so much, and we hope to see you at VirtualDash!

what if i did a panel at dashcon 2 would that be fucked up or what

[dashcon-two]

[millenniallust4death]

I will be presenting at Virtual DashCon 2026 this August!

My panel is titled, "I block all blaze posts, but yours."

If you’ve celebrated Martin and Bosco Day on July 13, you already know them. Learn what preservation means on Tumblr and how blaze promotion impacts the reblog network. I promise you won’t have to do any math!

You can purchase tickets to attend Virtual DashCon here: https://simpli.events/e/virtualdash-2026 Follow @dashcon-two for more information about the online convention. The full panel schedule will be announced soon.

I hope to see you there! You can ask questions and watch me sweat on camera.

[fangirl-nadir]

I still can't believe Tumblr took the most infamous failed convention of recent history and not only decided to try again but succeeded??? And it was so successful that tickets sold out in less than an hour and crashed the website? That they're doing it again this year and, once again, tickets sold out within the day?

Talk about a legendary comeback

My Fellow Americans Citizens of Tumblr,

It is my honor to announce that I, President Richard Milhous Nixon, will be hosting a panel for Virtual Dashcon 2 2026! My panel is titled,

Intro to Presidentblr (Or How I Found Myself Dedicating an Absurd Amount of My Time Pretending to be President Richard Nixon on Tumblr)

You can purchase tickets to attend virtual Dashcon this year using the following link: https://simpli.events/e/virtualdash-2026

Also, follow @dashcon-two on Tumblr for additional information regarding the convention!

I hope to see you at the (Virtual) Ballpit!

[the-muppet-joker]

Alright, I'm finally done being shown visions by the various Spirits of Dashcons Past, Present, and Future. APPARANTLY, when I was killed in my duel last year, my restless soul which has been tethered to the ballpit (leaving me a husk of my former self), has become a Jost (Joker Ghost), and has been viciously haunting the people and clowns behind the Dashcon 2 experience. I am unable to attend Physical Dashcon (the Jost will destroy me on sight), so the only way I can stop it is by presenting a panel at Virtual Dashcon. This twisted ritual should HOPEFULLY bring some peace to my stupid unbound soul. LE SIGH!

Anyway, if any of you wish to observe my Very Sinister Arcane Ritual, feel free to purchase tickets for Virtual Dashcon. My panel will obviously be the Muppet Joker's Quiet Sock Puppet Craft Corner, but in addition to that there will be plenty of other virtual panels to put your eyeballs on as well as video footage of the Physical Happenings of Real Dashcon, including yet another violent execution. When will it be enough blood, Dashcon? When will the ballpit be satisfied?

[dashcon-two]

Hello, I'm Saph Ick if you were at Dashcon2 last year you might have seen me wanding around as the Diva dressed as Ash Williams. Well. I will be back again this year. Only this year. I am the one running the show! And I need to find my cast.

Accessibility at DashCon 2

Hi all,

Happy spring! The GTA is blessed with a few public cherry blossom orchards, which are now in full bloom. They are absolutely gorgeous, and I recommend Torontonians stop by at High Park (and Mississaugans visit Kariya Park) to appreciate them :)

Onto the important matters. Accessibility for convention day!

Our Intake Form Killed Itself :(

Simpli Events, the service we use for ticket management, geared up in anticipation for ticket launch—but clearly they didn’t gear up enough! Somehow, the intake form got corrupted and we don’t have the data from our standard order form. That means the question “would you like to register for accessibility accomodations” was—ironically enough—inaccessible.

We will be sending out a three-question Google Form by email to all registered attendee emails. Please keep an eye out for this email!! It should be sent within the next few days. Our accessibility coordinator will then follow up with you about getting accomodations sorted out.

What do accomodations look like?

This year, someone registered for accessibility accomodations will receive an accessibility sticker which goes on their badge. This signals to our volunteer team that the attendee should be given early/priority access to washrooms or event spaces to facilitate mobility. Other accessibility accomodations are available and can be discussed further with our Accessibility Coordinator via her email ([email protected]).

The Chill Room

Conventions can be very overstimulating! Sometimes we just need a break. This is why DashCon 2 operates the Chill Room: a low-sensory space where congoers are invited to relax and get some peace and quiet. Cosplayers are welcome to relax in there as well and patch up their cosplays if they need a moment to reapply makeup or re-tie a bow.

That said, the Chill Room Rules will be strictly enforced. The Chill Room is NOT a designated costuming lounge area but a low sensory space. Please note that:

Talking above a whisper is strictly prohibited.

If you need to have an extended conversation, take it outside the Chill Room. Whispering should be used for short, perfunctory discussions.

Electric fans generate a lot of noise and are also prohibited.

DashCon 2 will provide manual hand fans for use by attendees, as they are quieter.

Overhead lights will not be turned on until 9:00 PM.

There are many windows in the Chill Room so there will be light to see by in the daytime

Once the sun goes down (8:40 PM) only one set of lights will be turned on, to ensure people have light to enter/exit by.

Phone flashlights are prohibited as they are intense and disruptive.

If you need help finding something, ask a volunteer for help.

Phone screens should be dimmed when it gets dark.

Taking a nap is okay, but volunteers reserve the right to wake you if they have a concern.

Eating is acceptable, but do your best to keep noise to a minimum.

We are still expanding the list of amenities the Chill Room will have on hand. Here is the current list:

Water bottles

Manual fans

Sleep masks (to block light)

Disposable earplugs

Disposable face masks

A finalized list will be posted on our website closer to the convention date. If you have a suggestion of something that would benefit you if we had it in the Chill Room, feel free to send us a message at [email protected].
