What's new for FanWorks 2020!

Reminder: FanWorks registration opens for attending members tomorrow (Sunday, January 12th) at 2:00PM Eastern! The con website is now in FanWorks 2020 mode, with more updates to come! As you read through the website, you'll notice that some things have changed from last year's con. We've highlighted a few of those changes below (these links go to a post on our Dreamwidth account): ( The con space, featuring a new activities track and con suite ) ( Friday dinner banquet & other catering ) ( Night Market vendor fee waived for 2020 ) ( Call it a night a little earlier ) A sample schedule for 2020 is available here. This is a sample only, meant to give an idea of what con programming will be like. It may not reflect actual schedule times and events. If you have any questions, you can email [email protected] or leave a screened comment at the above Dreamwidth post.

FanWorks is coming to Chicago on August 7th - 9th, 2020

Next year's FanWorks convention will be the weekend of August 7th – 9th, 2020 in Chicago, IL at the SpringHill Suites at O'Hare Airport.

Registration for FanWorks 2020 will open on Sunday, January 12th at 2:00pm Eastern.

Attending membership will again be $135. We are currently working out costs of bar wristbands and other possible registration add-ons, and will update with those when prices are set.

The con block room rate at the SpringHill will be $119/night for a double or king. All guest rooms at the SpringHill include a living area with a pull-out couch and a kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, cabinets, and sink.

We'll be posting an interim guide to the SpringHill soon, with a more complete photo tour coming after we do a site visit for photography in early 2020. Our website will be updated in the coming week to reflect our new dates and location.

FanWorks Registration & Hotel Reservation Deadlines

Registration for FanWorks 2019 will be closing on Sunday, July 14th! If you haven't yet registered to attend this year's con, you have about a month left to do so. (We hope you'll come! Even if creating fanworks isn't your thing, there will be plenty of day and night activities that’ll be fun for all fans of fanworks.) We encourage registering as soon as possible rather than waiting until July if you don't have to, as space in the hotel block may become limited as time goes on. Another good reason to register in June: bar wristband sales will close on Sunday, June 30th. If you plan on buying a bar wristband at registration, please plan on registering by June 30th. Digital membership sales will remain open at least until the end of the con weekend. Key dates: June 30: Bar wristband sales close July 14: Attending registration closes August 1: Cut-off date for hotel reservations at the convention rate 

We also have a Roommate Finding Post up on our Dreamwidth if you’re looking for a fellow attendee (or two or three) to share a hotel room with you!

FanWorks registration closes on July 14th!

FanWorks registration will close on Sunday, July 14th. Bar wristband sales have now closed and are no longer available at registration. If you wanted to add a wristband to your registration or intended to purchase a wristband with registration but missed the deadline, please email [email protected]. (Please keep in mind that there will not be alcohol available for individual purchase at the Night Market or Sparkle Motion - you must have a wristband to drink at the bar on those nights. Outside alcohol is not allowed into the con space, and this will be enforced.) Vendor tables for the Night Market are still available at registration, and can be added to existing memberships by editing registration through the dashboard. These sales will close with registration on the 14th, so if you want to purchase a vendor table to sell your fanart or other fan wares, or promote a con or fan organization, please make sure to purchase your table by July 14th.

FanWorks registration update

We've had a couple inquiries, so an update about con registration:

Registration is still open for FanWorks! Registration will be open until at least the end of June, and likely through July. (We're still working on catering deadlines to determine when we'll officially close registration before the con.) All attending memberships must be purchased before the con; registration will not be available on-site.

There is an attending membership cap (160 attendees), but if registration gets down to 15-20 available spots left, we'll announce that here and on social media to give everyone a heads up. If we hit the cap and move to waitlisting, we will announce that also. Unless you hear from us that registration is waitlisted or closed, it remains open for anyone to purchase an attending membership to the con. 

If you're planning on registering but haven't done so yet, please keep in mind that panel voting begins this Sunday, April 7th, and only registered attendees will be able to vote on panels for this year's schedule.

I am all registered for Steamcon V and my husband really needs to learn never to leave me in charge of these things because his badge name is now Trentasaurus Rex. (Mine says Megaladon so it's not like he's suffering alone but really, after five years of marriage he really should know better.)

And now it's time to start sewing.
