We will release a limited number of free Press Badges and the awarding of such is purely at the discretion of Con on the Cob.

Members of the local media who do not want to participate in any of the exciting events of Con on the Cob and are simply there to observe and provide news coverage or do a story are not required to have a badge. Please check in at the Registration Desk for assistance upon arrival.

The Official Con on the Cob Hashtag is (not surprisingly):

Reporters, photographers, and other representatives of print media are encouraged to visit Con on the Cob and to contact Andy about information or stories leading up to Con on the Cob.

We encourage podcasters and streamers to record at Con on the Cob and/or to stream live directly from the show. A quiet media room is reserved for this purpose and several locations throughout the venue are conducive.

We also encourage live streaming with audience participation (limited by room and time constraints). To set up such a thing please contact Andy (see Press Inquiries below).

If you are interested in scheduling an interview with any of the Con on the Cob Special Guests please contact Silver. If Silver is not available, or you would like to interview any members of the Con on the Cob staff, please inquire onsite at the Registration Desk.

To speak with a member of staff before the event please contact Andy (see Press Inquiries below).

For press inquiries please contact Andy Hopp.
