An Appeal to Our BayCon Family
It’s been nearly three years since our last BayCon. During that time we’ve seen a lot of fan conventions and fannish organizations struggle to support themselves and some disappear entirely.
There are a lot of invisible costs to keeping an organization afloat when it relies almost entirely on membership costs to generate any income. We have managed to stretch our budget and survive, but if 2022 does not hit minimum targets, then this may very well be the last BayCon, at least in its current form.
Here are some things you can do to help support the convention and ensure that there is a BayCon 2023 and beyond:
- Purchase a membership to BayCon 2022! This is the most vital thing you can do for us. It’s how we get the majority of our income. Plus we would love to see you after so many years apart!
- Stay at the Hotel during the convention. Believe it or not, this is almost as important to us as selling memberships. Our agreement with the hotel gets much easier if we make our target number of room reservations. We realize that the cost associated with staying at the hotel is prohibitive to some of our members, but if you are in the position where you can decide to attend in this way, we would greatly appreciate it!
- Purchase your pre-BayCon 2022 swag to help us spread the word! You can visit our shop on Redbubble for some pre-convention merchandise. And yes, we will have official BayCon 2022 Member T-Shirts and other merchandise available for sale closer to the convention.
We hope to see you in person for BayCon 2022!
