For WisCONline, the Gathering will take place on the Discord channel, across a series of activity-specific discussion channels, starting right after our virtual Opening Ceremonies, streamed via YouTube.

- Deadline for activity proposals: April 1
The Gathering is the official start to WisCon — Friday at 1pm sharp! This is the time and place to decompress from the rigors of travel, meet friends old and new, make the transition to WisCon space-time, and get into the WisCon frame of mind! Refreshments, fun activities, and relaxation all await you at the Gathering. We also share information about the convention — and you won’t want to miss the crowning of the Otherwise Award Winner!
What happens at The Gathering? It’s a fair full of fun, free activities. In the past we’ve had activities like:
- hair braiding
- a fiber arts circle
- a galley sale
- paper crafts and access crafts
- tarot readings
- make-and-take soft circuits
- lock-picking lessons
- the nail polish swap
- button making
