About this event

UPDATE 4/22/2025
We have a bad news/good news situation:
Bad news: Due to a family situation, Victor LaValle has had to cancel.
But look forward to panels featuring Guests of Honor: Phenderson Djèlí Clark, John Jennings, and Wrath James White. Plus special guests: (agent to the stars) Bridget Smith, (editor supreme) Lesley Conner, and (game designer extraordinaire) Richard Dansky.
Good news: I hadn’t introduced the local artists being featured at Mo*Con. Our artist gallery will feature the legend, Omar Rashan, and Rianna Butcher (making her artist debut!). Also, featured Friday evening, jazz ensemble Premium Blend! Plus many surprises!
Oh yeah, still free.
ETA: With a special thanks to the Herbert Simon Family Foundation for its generous contribution to make sure this happens!
