FanWorks is being postponed and will no longer take place in August 2020. More information on the decision to reschedule is in the announcement post on that topic, here.
The new dates for the next FanWorks convention are March 19th – 21st, 2021.
The location will be the same: the SpringHill Suites O'Hare in Chicago, IL. All programming, set-up, and so on for the con is currently expected to be the same as it would have been in August; only the dates are changing.
( Why we chose those dates )
( If you are currently registered to attend FanWorks in August 2020 )
( If you have an existing room reservation for August 2020 )
( Registration and booking for FanWorks March 2021 )
( FanWorks Virtual Con possible later this year )
( What this means for August 2021 )
We'll do our best to reply to comments & emails and provide requested registration refunds as quickly as possible this week, with the understanding that a lot is going on and it may take a day or two for us to get back to you.
Once current registration is handled, we'll essentially be on post-con hiatus (with FanWorks now once again a year out), but maybe a little more so – hiatus+. Our platforms and inboxes may not be as closely monitored as usual, so that we can focus our energy on our families, communities, and individual needs in this time. We'll post at least one more update before going on hiatus so that you know when to expect communications to slow down.
Questions, comments, and feedback can be emailed to jen@fanworkscon.com or left here as screened comments.
