Event Submission Reminder and Update
We opened up event submissions for this year’s U-Con in May, and while many events have already been submitted, we still have room for more!
If you’ve been considering submitting one or more events, or if you’ve already done so, here is some important information on the process, and key dates to know.
- As in past years, all event submissions are reviewed and approved by the U-Con staff; you’ll be notified by email when your event is approved, or if we require any changes to your event submission. So, after you make your submission, keep an eye on your email for that approval.
- A big change this year is that we will be publishing an “event preview” on our Tabletop Events site on Saturday, August 22nd, at noon Eastern Time. Prior to the 22nd, Tabletop Events will not be displaying any information on U-Con events, but despite this, rest assured that the con staff has been working behind the scenes to review, approve, and schedule submitted events. Once you receive notification via email from the con staff that your event has been approved, you’re good to go, and your event will be listed.
- If you haven’t already submitted your event(s), and you want to make sure that your event is listed in our event preview when it goes live on August 22nd, we encourage you to submit your events to us as soon as possible, to allow the con staff enough time to review and approve your event prior to the 22nd. Events which are submitted close to August 22nd may not be approved in time to be included when the event preview first goes live.
- Gamemasters who run 8+ hours of events earn a discounted badge. See our Gamemaster Info page (https://www.ucon-gaming.org/participate/gamemasters/) for details, including how to earn a no-cost Gamemaster badge. As your events are approved, we will send you a discount code for your Gamemaster badge.
- We will be giving our GMs an “early bird” opportunity to sign up for events prior to when general pre-registration opens on September 5th; GMs who have had their events approved before August 22nd will be able to sign up for events starting when the event preview opens, but you’ll need your gamemaster badge in order to do so. So, if you are on the fence about GMing for U-Con, or haven’t gotten around to submitting your event yet, this is an incentive for you!
