As we said a couple of years ago, there have been major changes to FOGcon. The existing 501(c)(3) entity has (finally!) closed down, and FOGcon is now a fiscally sponsored project of Dream Foundry, another 501(c)(3) organization. It's taken us much longer to achieve than we had hoped, but now it's done! With that in place, if at some future date we can bring back the in-person FOGcon, we will have the ability to fundraise and build a larger volunteer group.
We're going to be virtual in the foreseeable future. Though we have been far less active than planned since 2022, we hope to bring you fun readings, panels, and other events to support and build the FOGcon community. This will be run by the Virtual FOGcon Concom. Given the current state of public health issues, as well as budgetary concerns, we cannot be sure when (or even if) we will be able to bring back a hotel-based convention.
Virtual FOGcon: Later, as we build out our calendar, we’d love to get suggestions for virtual events. We can’t promise to implement them, but we will certainly add them to our list of potential programs. Email us at fogcon@fogcon.org (with a copy to Fogcon20@gmail.com) with your ideas!
Meanwhile, we will notify FOGcon friends of interesting events from other organizations with similar interests, such as Two Hour Transport and Story Hour.
