AradaniCon - A FREE Online Convention THIS WEEKEND!

I am happy to share with you the details of a very cool event happening this weekend. An event that I will be a part of! This weekend, starting Friday, April, 10th the fantastic folks at Aradani Studios will be hosting a FREE online convention, AradaniCon. I will take part in two of the MANY panels and events they have planned. All of the links, details, and information you will need to take part is just below on this page. Be sure to stop by the A Drink at the Artist’s Bar panel Friday night and the How to find your voice as an artist panel on Saturday afternoon. I will be paneling with some fantastic folks, and it should be a fun time for all with plenty of opportunities to talk to the artists and ask questions.

Discord (the Convention Lobby for us)

AradaniCon is a FREE online convention that started in 2020. We all know why we have to have it online, but why do it?

• Social interaction. Conventions are being canceled, and we need a way to connect with each other.

• Helping artists. Artists and makers are having a rough time during this time, and we all need to band together and help out!

• Helping fandom. Patrons of conventions and festivals are having a rough time missing out on their social interactions at these events. This is a way for us to all come together.
 
Where do we start?

The main “Lobby” for the convention will be the Aradani Discord channel. We will be posting the schedule there, as well as just having a general chat. We can also subdivide if the lobby gets too crowded.

What will be at AradaniCon?

• Panels: We will have a full schedule of panels, hosted by the best in the industry. These will last from 1 to 2 hours, with extended discussions in Discord. Panels will be streaming on Youtube and/or Twitch.
Dealer’s Hall: Our panelists will be selling their wares online, and some with discounts!
Gaming: We hope to have a full schedule of gaming online, but at minimum, Mike will host a SagaBorn game or two that weekend!
Costume Masquerade: We will have a panel or webpage showcasing costumes, with awards given!
Late Night Digital Dance Party: That’s right, we can still enjoy music and dancing like no one's watching.
I hope to see you there!

That's all for another exciting Wednesday on the blog, see you back here on Friday! Until then...
