When You Get There

Check in at the Info Table, which is table 80 in the hallway outside Goldstein. They’ll give you a badge (which is free). These badges are not only numbered, limited-edition Risograph prints, they’re a way for us to help keep track of how many guests we have, so please ask for one. Thanks!

Then enjoy our vendor floor in Goldstein Auditorium, our cat room in room 137, our Art & Activities room in room 128, our panels on the second floor in room 228, and the display of geek culture materials curated by the Special Collections Research Center on the first floor of Bird Library next to Pages Cafe.

Who We Are

The Geek/Art CONfluence is a comic con focused on creativity, inclusion, and diversity in geek culture.

The Geek/Art CONfluence is enthusiastically dedicated to providing a diverse, inclusive experience—with a focus on increasing disability awareness within geek culture—in partnership with Syracuse University’s “Cripping” the Comic Con, aka CripCon.

We are committed to accessibility. Panel sessions will include CART captioning.

Open to everyone, everywhere, free of charge. We love being a CON that brings together people from the university and the surrounding community. Everyone is welcome!

Expectations for Behavior at the CON

Be nice!

The point of the CON is to provide a friendly, positive, inclusive, geeky space for a day, for the benefit of people who have not had the chance to experience that kind of thing for a long time.

Harassment, insults, bigotry, and villainous behavior in general will not be tolerated. We may remove anyone who does not uphold this expectation through their speech or behavior.
