FanWorks 2023 is right around the corner!

FanWorks 2023 starts this Friday, December 8th!

Registration will remain open through the con weekend, but we strongly recommend registering by Thursday, December 7th. (Sometimes there are issues with Discord invites not populating correctly, and it's always better if we can catch those on Friday, so that you aren't missing any key programming!)

The con schedule is still being finalized, but in the meantime, here are some things to know:

  • Con time is Eastern Standard Time. All times given are in EST.

  • The main platforms for the virtual con are Discord and Zoom. Discord invites will go up on the con dashboard for registered attendees; Zoom links for panels will be found on the con dashboard and pinned in the channels for each panel on Discord.

  • The con Discord will open on Thursday night at or around 8pm. This is an informal opening ahead of the con weekend, so if your Discord invite isn't immediately available, please be patient with us while we get things moving!

  • The first scheduled events of the weekend will be a Craft Together Zoom Social at 4pm on Friday, and Pictionary at 9:00pm on Friday night. These are casual icebreaker events; panel and vidshow programming starts on Saturday.

  • Main programming runs from 12:00pm to 6:00pm each day, with a break from 2-3pm.

  • FanWorks Premieres runs from 7:00 - 9:00pm on Saturday, with a replay on Sunday morning from 9:00 - 11:00am.

  • The con Discord will be moderated on Thursday night for the server opening, and from Friday (12/8) through Sunday (12/10) during con programming hours. It will remain open to messages until Monday night (12/11), and then will go into read only mode for the rest of the week, closing on Saturday (12/16).

  • The FanWorks Code of Conduct is in effect at all times, in all con spaces. Attendees are required to read and acknowledge the code of conduct when registering for the con, but we encourage everyone to re-read the Code of Conduct before the con weekend.


We'll have the schedule of panels & vidshows up shortly! We look forward to seeing everyone at the con this weekend.
