SFFCon 2021
SFFCon 2021 Event Details
June 11-13, 2021 | Online
The second annual SFFCon will be held online from June 11-13, 2021. Panels will be streamed as well as recorded, and we will maximize the opportunities for audience interaction as much as possible. The convention is free to attend!
How to Participate
For SFFCon 2021, panels will be streamed live to YouTube:
Browse through the panel list below. Respond "Set Reminder" to the panels you'd like to attend, and YouTube will notify you. We will also post a reminder in the Facebook group shortly before each program element goes live.
During the panel, use the YouTube Live Chat to interact with panelists. Panelists will do their best to respond to the question during the live Q&A.
The panels will be recorded so you can watch the replay whenever you'd like.
In addition to the live panels, there is also a Discord server where you can interact with other fans and the panelists. If you don't get your question answered live, you can follow up with the panelists on Discord afterward. And, of course, you can always post in the main Facebook SFFCon group.
Thank you for your interest in the event, and we look forward to seeing you there!
