ConnectiCon 2010 will be held the weekend of July 9-11, 2010 at the Connecticut Convention Center and Hartford Marriott Downtown. Events at the convention center will take place on Friday and Saturday between 8am and midnight, and Sunday between 8am and 6pm. Events at the Hartford Marriott Downtown will run 24-hours a day beginning at 8am on Friday morning and ending at 6pm on Sunday evening.

Over 7,000 people attended ConnectiCon in 2009, making it one of New England's largest pop culture events. Why pop culture you ask? Well, because ConnectiCon doesn't focus on just one element of fandom, the convention's organizers are fans of a lot of different things, so we focus on all of the awesome stuff that we like including: web comics, anime, console games, board games, table top miniatures, science fiction, fantasy, comics books, roleplaying games, live action roleplaying, collectible card games, and horror. You name it we've probably got something related going on, even Madden Football, and spontaneous games of Twister while folks wait in line! ConnectiCon has "Everything but the kitchen sink!"

What can you expect to see and do at ConnectiCon? Here is a short list of what we've currently got planned for you:
  • Three 24-hour screening rooms showing new releases, classic favorites and independent features from anime, sci-fi, fantasy, horror and related genres.
  • Five panel rooms, three workshop rooms, a 2,500 seat main events hall. Packed with performances, guest speakers, hands on crafting, and discussion of your favorite genres.
  • There will be nine 4-hour slots of roleplaying games showcasing mainstream and independent games for experienced players or beginners.
  • Thanks to our sponsor, GameStop, Console gaming is going to explode featuring over 100 systems for free play and tournament use.


We've expanding the size and scope of board games, miniatures gaming, and collectible card games this year with over 60 Sanctioned Magic: The Gathering tournaments, over 40 tabletop miniatures events, and more than 75 tables for board games with an active group of game instructors and publishers.

ConnectiCon will be showcasing over 7,000 hours of programming during our 3-day event at the Connecticut Convention Center and Hartford Marriott Downtown.

Last year (2009), our web comic charity auction raised nearly $3,000 for Child's Play, a Seattle based, gamer-run organization that holds an annual toy drive for childrens' hospitals. Items auctioned have included named appearances in various comics, plane tickets home, framed boxers, custom art, books, a dinner date and whole lot more! These auctions are crazy!

Keep in touch year round on the forums and stop by our MONTHLY, member's only, mini-conventions, at the Newington Office & Conference Center, 705 N. Mountain Road, Newington, CT 06111, between 10am and 10pm on the 2nd Saturday of each month. See you there!

ConnectiCon 2010 Registration is now open Posted by: Zxurian
on Saturday, January 16th at 2:35 pm
You can log in and renew your Membership with ConnectiCon online now, via PayPal or the preferred method of Google Checkout.

Due to the new API changes, please take care to not send us money twice. I've tried to make the process as painless and as descriptive as possible, while allowing the most sway room. We prefer Google Checkout due to the lower rates, but we accept PayPal, Google Checkout, & good old fashioned mail in.

Group rates still apply for group renewals of 10 or more at the same time, and will apply automatically during checkout.

If anything seems out of place, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email at webmaster@connecticon.org, or even send an IM to goodrow:r@connecticon:com if you use Google Talk / Jabber. I'll be glued to a computer for the weekend to make sure everything stays up and running smoothly.

Any problems with the process, shoot me an email at webmaster@connecticon.org.

Any membership / member questions you have, shoot an email over to members@connecticon.org.

Hotel information has also been updated on the Hotel page, with both a form and a link to reserve rooms.

Cheers!
