The first annual FanWorks convention will be held August 15 - 18, 2019 at the Sheraton Detroit Metro Airport in Romulus, MI.

Hi there! We've been quiet for a while as we've been exploring cities and hotels to find the best home for FanWorks in 2019 and beyond, but we have officially landed in Metro Detroit for August 2019. We're excited about our new con home, and we think you will be too!

The hotel has two floors of meeting space, all of which will be ours for the weekend. The hotel rooms are extremely nice and recently upgraded, the hotel is beautiful and spacious with a five-story atrium lobby, and the hotel staff is very excited to have us. (And don't get me started on all the cool stuff we'll be able to do there - get ready to decorate your hotel room doors with all your fandoms, because that's totally a thing we're doing.)

With all that space, we're going to be able to have five simultaneous panel tracks: Video, Writing, Audio, Digital & 2D Arts, and Material Arts. We'll have a dedicated vidshow room, a podfic & podcast recording room, a con suite, and spaces for gaming, galleries, and quiet reading. At night, the panel rooms will combine into ballroom space for events: on Friday, a Night Market to buy (and sell!) fan arts and wares; on Saturday, a three-hour vid dance party. 

It's going to be very cool, and we hope you can be there! Registration opens in 2019, so in the meantime, watch for updates here on Dreamwidth or on Twitter and Tumblr.
