"Greetings ConCoctioneers! 

The ConCoction Volunteer Staff has been busy with another last minute date change going in to the 2020 membership year.

As we stated during our "State of the Con" Q&A panel and "Closing Ceremonies" at Cleveland ConCoction 2019 we do not want to break up the local Community between two events.
To that end Cleveland ConCoction 2020 has effectively moved to the third weekend in March - March 20-22, 2020. 

For those members who pre-registered their 2020 memberships at ConCoction 2019 and will now be unable to attend and would like a membership refund, send us an email with your name and registration information to registration@clevelandconcoction.org
We will honor these requests until June 30th, 2019, no questions asked. 

We will be returning to The Bertram Hotel & Conference Center in Aurora, Ohio again in 2020 and look forward to being at this host site again. 

Pre-registration for Cleveland ConCoction's 2020 Convention is now open online and mail-in forms will be available soon for download online.
Volunteer signups are also open for the 2020 year.
 
Keep an eye on our website and social media for future Guest announcements and more!
