confabcon | CONfab Announcement!

CONfab Chicago will be happening October 25-27, 2024 at our same home, the Springhill Suites Chicago O’Hare. We are so excited to be back there, and to see you all again.

What about virtual con, you may ask? Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten the worldwide virtual community we’ve been growing since taking the con online in 2020. We won’t be able to produce two events in one year again; our capacity is limited, and having both a virtual con and an in-person con in 2023 was a struggle. Going forward we’ll be alternating years between CONfab being in person and virtual. Therefore our next Virtual CONfab will be in October of 2025.

Alternating in this way means our all-volunteer con comm can put 100% of their focus and attention into each event, and really produce the best possible convention for you. We’ll be able to match the Virtual CONfab experience even more closely to the in-person one, providing more panels, activities, and fandom hangtime for you to enjoy.

And in between each con, we’ll be able to chat in Discord, and plan games and watchalongs there to keep us in touch!

We hope to see you there, and in Chicago next October!
