A note on fees: We use the fine platform of Tabletop Events to manage our convention. And they do a good job, but it costs more than a unicorn's horn sharpener! This year, we are absorbing the fees that we are charged (about 6.5% per badge sold). However, if you ask for a refund, we still need to cover those fees.

Refund Policy - You can refund your badge until Friday, May 8, at 8:00 AM Central Time. We will keep 6% of your purchase price to cover fees that are charged by Tabletop Events. After May 8, no refunds are available!

Don't forget to buy a t-shirt! You can buy t-shirts at the same time as you buy your badge, or anytime after up to the deadline of April 6. New this year, we are offering two different t-shirt designs by Mark Sellmeyer. You can choose the Geekway to the Portal shirt, or the Geekway to the Rainbow shirt. Both are available in straight cut, and also curvy (femme) cut. Order one, order both, collect them all!
