Pre-Registration extended through October 27th

Due to a large number of registration questions and increased demand, we have decided to extend our pre-registration period by a week. We hope this will help those who need a bit of extra time, and this will also allow us to accept pre-registrations this weekend at Geek Kon. Daisho Con will be holding a room party on Friday night, so if you're there be sure to stop by and say hello!

Volunteer for DaishoCon!

Any conference relies on support from its wonderful fans and attendees. You can be part of the effort to make DaishoCon enjoyable for everyone.

DaishoCon volunteers can get free access to the conference for offering their time. There are many positions open, based on interest. Feel free to volunteer for video-gaming, anime rooms, etc.

Register for volunteering here!

Sell Your Art!

DaishoCon is opening up the Art Auction! Artists, we know you work hard for your art, and it's time to earn some well-deserved recognition (and cash).

DaishoCon does NOT take commissions. We understand the concept of "starving artists," and we want to make sure you that you get the most from your work. That said, please note that the auction space is finite and, in the case that the area fills up, we may offer extra spaces to our artists for a small charge.

For more information, feel free to contact Sydney, or check out this more detailedpacket of information.
