You’ll know you’re booking with the Escapade link as the Quick Book button will also say: "Rcgc Escapade".

Now the fun part, tell us what you want to see for programming!

 

https://escapadecon.net/panels/panel-nomination/

 

We promised that if you're one of those people who loves to bounce ideas off of other folks, we will have panel submission brainstorming parties, and we weren't kidding!

 

Panel Suggestion Parties will be on Discord, in the atrium voice and chat channel, on these dates/times:

Sunday, October 19, 2025 1:00 PM Pacific PDT

Saturday, November 15, 2025 1:00 PM Pacific PST

Saturday, December 13, 2025 1:00 PM Pacific PST

 

Note that these are Pacific Time, and the clocks "fall back" between the October and November parties, so "daylight time" and "standard time".

 

If you want to participate in one of the parties and aren't on Discord (yet), email info@escapadecon.net for an invitation.

 

If you've never made panel suggestions before, the parties are a great way to see how ideas end up as panels and to get inspiration from what others are saying.

 

For the Escapade "Old Timers" among us, come to the parties and share what fannish fun is keeping you going these days.

Hey Escapaders!

 

We’re now just six months out from the next in-person Escapade, and I know many of you have been excited to book your hotel and register for the convention. The wait is over!

 

To register for the convention:

1. Start by going to https://escapadecon.net/shop/register-for-in-person-escapade-2026/

2. After making your payment, you should be taken to a page to enter your badge name and other information. If you aren’t, try going to https://escapadecon.net/escapade-36-registration-in-person/ and filling out the form there.

That’s it!

 

If you’ve already registered for the convention, you should be in our system. Unfortunately, you can’t easily pull up the information from the form you submitted (this is something we are working on fixing) but if you want to re-submit your information, you can go to https://escapadecon.net/update-your-registration-info/. 

 

To book your hotel room:

1. Start at our special magic link: https://www.hilton.com/en/attend-my-event/laxabes-rcg-5fcb641f-16e7-47bb-b537-45ad15911160/

2. Click “Book a Room”.

3 .At the top of the page it takes you to, select the dates you want. It will default to a six night stay, so it’s important to change this to the actual dates you want! Make sure you also choose the right number of guests for your room.

4. Choose the room type you want, enter your information, and you’re all set! 

 

Remember, if you book with our link, you get many benefits, including discounted parking ($20 per night versus $60 per night!), a refund of the mandatory $12.92 per night tax, and a reduced deposit (capped at $250 for the whole stay). Plus, you support Escapade! If you have any trouble using the link above, please let us know ASAP.

 

Pro Tip:

 

It’s recommended to come in on or before Thursday night and leave no earlier than Sunday if you want to experience the full convention. We might have some fun activities for early birds who get there on Tuesday or Wednesday, too! And of course, if you want to stay for the Tired Puppy Pile party, you may want to wait until Monday to head out…

 

We’re so excited to see you there!
