SFFCon 2020

SFFCon 2020 Event Details

November 7-8, 2020 | Online

The inaugural SFFCon will be held online from November 7-8, 2020. Panels will be streamed as well as recorded, and we will maximize the opportunities for audience interaction as much as possible.

How to Participate

For SFFCon 2020, Facebook will serve as the hub of activity:

Visit the Events tab in the Facebook group to see the list of panels.
Respond "Going" or "Interested" to the panels you'd like to attend.
Any time leading up to the panel or live, post questions on the events page, and panelists will do their best to respond to the question during the live Q&A.
The panels will be live-streamed to Facebook and YouTube so you can watch wherever you'd like. Panels will also be recorded so you can review them later.
In addition to the live panels, there is also a Discord server where you can iteract with other fans and the panelists. 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!
