Why yes, the website has been recently updated; thanks for asking!
As with most cons, it is an ongoing and evolving project. Several updates
were added today. Very soon we'll have a complete list of concom meetings
for the year, which is important if you want to become part of our staff.
We are always looking for fresh minds and idle
hands. If you're interested in helping, contact chair@orycon.org! |

Did you know that reservations are being taken
for spots in our Merchants Market? We still have
available spots in Artists Alley, Writers Block,
and the Dealers Den. The Market will look a
little different than past OryCons in that the
traditional Art Show has been replaced with the
Artist's Alley. Walking through any of them is
free with a membership.
-
Artists Alley - Artists can bring and display
their artwork themselves, meet the membership,
answer questions about their art and techniques
and possibly even conduct workshops (contact
programming@orycon.org to discuss further).
This provides more personal contact than Art
Show used to, and artists are constrained only
by the size of their table. Artists can purchase
tables at $60, or two tables for $120.
-
Writers Block - Whether authors want to
highlight a new book being released, or revive
interest in their previous work, or just get
a chance to talk to their readers, this is a
great way to promote one's latest release and
meet people who enjoy one's work. Writers can
purchase a table for $80, or a booth/double for
$150 or $300.
-
Dealers Den - Whether it's called the
Dealer's Room, the Dealers Den, or whatever, no
convention is complete without vendors bringing
those one-of-a-kind items that only they can find
for you. Orycon 43 is planning on having another
robust room full of wares you'll be hard-pressed
to find anywhere else. Dealer table and booth
spaces are $80 and $150. (Double booths are
available for $300).
All participants in the Merchants Market will need memberships to OryCon.
You can join us by submitting
an
application.
