Programming at Halcy-Con
As a convention created by the fans, for the fans, and of the fans, Halcy-Con thrives on the creativity and passion of its community. In 2024, we were thrilled to offer everything from lightsaber training to interactive games to Q&As with professionals in the immersive entertainment industry. In 2025, we have one word for you: more!
Our larger facility will allow us to run more hours of programming throughout the con, and we’re relying on you to show off your creativity, expertise, and enthusiasm! You’ve had a year to think, dream, and imagine. Soon, it will be time to show us what you’ve got!
Later this winter, we will be inviting you to contribute to this vibrant event by submitting your ideas for discussions, presentations, and activities. Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or a first-time contributor, we want to hear from you! We were delighted that Halcy-Con 2024 gave some of our attendees their first chance to lead a workshop, moderate a panel, or share their fannish expertise, and we hope that 2025 will do the same, as well as welcoming back experienced presenters.
Details Coming Soon
Programming applications will open up in late winter. Prior to that time, we will share the 2025 Programming Guidelines with specific information on what our team will be looking for as we shape the 2025 event. Make sure you’re signed up for our newsletter so that you don’t miss that announcement!
In the meantime, check out our Sessions page for an overview of the types of programming that we’ll be featuring at Halcy-Con 2025.
Programming Considerations
As you start thinking about what you might want to submit for Halcy-Con 2025, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Our standard programming blocks are 45 minutes long, with 15 minutes in-between for clearing and resetting the space.
- Our conference center has a variety of room sizes: some will be more suitable for intimate conversations and experiences, while others will be set up for presentations or to allow for high-energy activities.
- One thing we know about Halcy-Con attendees? They love to do things! Active workshops and games were many of our most popular offerings in 2024, so we know they will be in high demand again this year.
- If we love your idea but have some questions about its capacity or its use of space, time, or resources, we may follow up with you to discuss options for altering it to work within our constraints.
If you have any questions or require clarification, please email programming@halcy-con.com.
