fanworksFanWorks is moving back one week to October 23 - 25th, to avoid conflicting with FIYAHCON 2020 for our attendees who want to do both.
(Our deadline schedule is now set and we won't be adjusting our dates again, so if other conflicts arise, we apologize! There's a lot going on virtually right now.)
The con will run on Eastern time, with a daily welcome video at 11:30AM and programming / social activities beginning each day at noon.
Here is what you can expect from virtual con programming:
Friday: A mostly informal day of online hangouts, icebreakers, viewing parties, and a groupwatch of last year's Premieres show, culminating in both Eastern and Pacific nighttime runs of Sparkle Motion, the FanWorks dance party (now in your living room!).
Saturday: Five hours of panel programming and an evening Premieres vid showcase, plus themed daytime vidshows, ongoing activities, and late night Halloween-themed programming.
Sunday: Five hours of panel programming, a cosplay showcase, and closing events, plus themed daytime vidshows, ongoing activities, and evening socials.
We know that many people will have to work on Friday, and that's okay! There are no panels or debuting vidshows during daytime programming on Friday. If you live in earlier time zones, don't work that day, or otherwise have flexibility to socialize, there will be things to do; if you can't make Friday daytime activities, there will be lots to do at other times throughout the weekend.
Registration for the 2020 FanWorks virtual con will be $20. Registration for this and future virtual cons is separate from the 2022 con in Chicago, so even if you are registered for that event, you will need to separately register if you want to attend the virtual con. The registration fee will cover our video hosting costs and go toward off-setting annual overheads that would normally be covered by con registration.
Registration for the 2020 FanWorks virtual con will open on Sunday, August 30th. We'll be working on updating our website and materials for the virtual con in the meantime, but if you have any questions, you can always shoot an email to jen@fanworkscon.com.
Deadlines for vidshows, the zine, and panel & vidshow submissions are coming up next!
