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 A.I. captioning and some panels will have American Sign Language interpretation. Whenever possible, visual content will be accompanied by image descriptions.
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.
