It’s almost time for this month’s ConCom meeting for NWC47!

Would you like to help plan, organize, and create the Pacific Northwest’s premier science-fiction and fantasy convention? Norwescon is always looking for volunteers, and our monthly Convention Committee planning meetings are a great way to get involved! Come pull back the curtain, meet the masterminds behind the event, and find out where your particular talents can be put to use!

Meeting Details

It’s that time of year again! It’s time to plan the next Norwescon!

Due to respect for ongoing Doubletree Staff contract negotiations, we will be hosting the November ConCom meeting virtually only. The Zoom will start at 11 and we will have breakout rooms available for the individual departments. The Zoom link will be posted to the Staff Information page closer to the meeting date.

Agenda
