Fan Tables

Free Informational tables on the Mezzanine are available on a first-come, first-served basis to Members of BayCon who wish to promote their Fan Groups and/or other Fannish Conventions at BayCon – one table max per group or Con. To reserve a table please email fantables09@baycon.org with the name of your group or Convention, the name(s) of the contact person(s) staffing the table, and let us know what sort of things you would be distributing at the table. "Freebies" and information on your group or event can be freely distributed from these tables, and memberships in the Convention or Fan Group may be sold – but not goods or services of any kind.
