"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!

​

Are you interested in checking out ConCoction 6 on the small side? 

Wanting to just visit our Vendors in the Exhibit Hall, Artists in the Art Show, or visit our Authors in Authors Alley?

The Sunday Hall pass is a great way to dip your toes into the ConCoction waters of fandom!  

At only $5 for the day, for the hours of 9am - 2:30pm on Sunday March 3rd you can explore these areas of the convention. 

Also, should you decide to become a member of the 2020 ConCoction Convention, you can sign up onsite on Sunday only in Registration.

Hello everyone!

I hope this message finds you safe and in good spirits. I am writing you today because we are three months out from the Con and it's time to start organizing volunteers.  We will need help in Programming, Registration, ConSuite, Art Show, Silent Auction,Gaming and Security and possibly Ops.  We also need help setting up on Thursday (this includes loading in) and tearing down on Sunday (this includes loading out).

Eight hours gets you a partial refund and twelve hours gets you a bigger refund.

What would you like to help with?    You can sign up online at our website Clevelandconcoction.org or send me an email here.  Please let me know as soon as possible what hours and days you're available for and what department you would like to help in.

We really appreciate your help! We couldn't have this convention without you!
​
Thank you!

​Chrystal
Volunteers Department
