The staff of Keycon 40 have had to make the difficult decision to postpone Keycon 40 and Keycon Lite to 2024. This decision was not an easy one to come to. Several factors contributed to this decision. A big one is the time needed to implement the recommendations of our retooling committee, which includes an improved marketing campaign. Another is simple COVID fatigue among the volunteer base. Those factors, along with a number of others, made this an important but necessary decision. The Chairs are working in consultation with our stakeholders and formed a plan to use this year as a chance to refine and improve the convention experience for all that are involved. We understand this may be disappointing for our members; however, we are excited to bring you the best convention experience possible! We will be back in 2024 for the 40th edition of Keycon – Choose your own Adventure, a convention to remember! We thank everyone for your support in this decision.
