We now have a "FAQ" page on the website: /about/vcon-faq (link will open a new tab).

However, it currently only contains two questions which were gleaned from a similar page from a much older version of our site. (They were the only two that weren't specific to the particular event for which the page was originally created.)

I'd appreciate anyone who can take a moment to review what is currently on the page and then post comments here with suggestions for additional questions we could add - preferably with an initial stab at an answer included.

How about:

Q: How can I get a membership?

A: Point to Registration (I'm not kidding), then mention that Volunteers and Media might be able to get special discounts.


Q: I'd like to be a panellist. How do I apply for that?

A: Point to Programming, where we'll make sure there's a blurb with the correct procedure.

Q: Can I attend for free?

A:  There are some parts of the convention you can access for free.  The Vendors Hall is a large area where you can browse for items such as books, jewelry, steampunk accessories, costume creations, (add other interesting things) or other wonderful gifts for yourself or someone else.  The Art Show is where we've gathered talented artists in many different media who all have elements of fantasy or science fiction to their creations.  [anything else?]  Otherwise, you will need to buy some sort of membership to enter other spaces.


Q:  I have very small children/toddlers/youngsters/teenagers.  Can I bring them?

A:  Of course!  We encourage SF/F fans (also called "fen") of all ages to enjoy VCON!  There's even KidCon (see link) if you want to have your toddler [give age range] be entertained while you go off and attend a panel.  Many of our panels and events are appropriate for teens, including things like the Masquerade or the Games Room.  There is a special membership level for kids.

Q:  Is your event accessible to those with various disabilities?

A:  Yes.  [give details]
