Escapade Con

Registration

Did you know that you can still register for Escapade?  If you’ve been meaning to register, now is the time!  Tell your friends!  You can purchase attending memberships for the full weekend or single-day memberships here:

Register for Escapade

And if you’re feeling generous, you can purchase Escapade gift cards through that link, too!  These can be used toward the cost of an Escapade registration, so keep that in mind if you’ve got some money to spare and a friend who might want to come to the con!

Scholarships

Or, if you’ve got some extra spending money, consider donating to the Escapade Scholarship funds.  These funds help people needing financial assistance to attend the con, including scholarships specifically for vidders and for people who identify as transgender or non-binary.  Donating is a great way to help fellow fans and contribute to the Escapade community, whether it helps a new fan come to Escapade for the first time or a long-time attendee who needs a little assistance to make it to the con this year.

We are also still accepting nominations for scholarship recipients, so please let us know who we can help to attend Escapade 2018!  Go here to nominate people and donate:

Hotel

If you’ve registered already, have you booked your hotel room?  Remember the con rate is only guaranteed until February 1, so don’t delay!  The room block is going fast, and we have already had to add more rooms.

Dealers

Do you handcraft jewelry or clothing or other craft items?  Do you make fannish crafts or have other fannish merchandise to vend?  Consider purchasing a table in our Dealer Room!  Details can be found here:
