The WisCon Convention Committee is pleased to announce that we will be having an online convention in 2025!
What will WisCONline 2025 look like? In addition to being fully online with no in person presence, we are currently looking at changes to WisCon to make it more sustainable for our volunteers. This means WisCon may appear to “shrink”, but if we offer less (for example, fewer panels), it’s because our focus is on quality and maintaining WisCon’s values.
While we can’t give exact details this early, more than ever, the capacity WisCon has to do the things we all love will depend on having volunteers step up. We’re committed to avoiding the past burnout we’ve seen come from volunteers taking on too many roles.
When is it? It will take place Memorial Day weekend as always! (May 23-26, 2025, with some programming possible Thursday evening and Tuesday morning.)
Why online only? Unfortunately we weren’t able to recruit key volunteers in time to make an in-person con viable. We’re excited, however, to use this opportunity to explore what we can do to engage and reach our community in ways we can’t usually.
When can I register? We will send out more information soon about registering!
How can I get involved? We are still in need of many important volunteer roles, which will determine what the con actually looks like. Please check our list at

and contact personnel@sf3.org if there are any roles you’re interested in. Also look out for panel submission requests and other contact from our team!
