Announcing a new Discord server, 2460Con, for the purpose of planning and launching an online-only Les Miserables convention in 2022: https://discord.gg/PJApYbCbnU. We, the inception committee, will be holding a series of public planning meetings on the server to gauge interest, refine plans for programming and guests, finalize the dates, and recruit volunteers and members of the convention committee (concom).
The initial planning meeting is Sunday, 17th January at 5:00 pm UTC (see when this is in your timezone). If you think you would have any interest in attending an online Les Mis con, come join us! We’re looking for volunteers at all levels, and for input from anyone who might attend.
Even if you’re not sure about attending the con, we’d love to see you on the server to chat about Les Mis. Are you a fan—of the Brick, the musical, or other adaptations? Are you a media fan who enjoys Les Mis (or had a fannish fling in 2013) and would like to find out more? Are you interested in attending or presenting programming on history, literature, media studies, fan studies, translation studies, or any other relevant disciplines in our academic track? (Independent scholars at all levels are welcome and are encouraged to submit.) Then join us at https://discord.gg/PJApYbCbnU!
Feel free to signal-boost the link to anyone who might be interested--organizing a great convention means pulling together as wide and diverse a membership as we can.
