QWOC Con Questions

[jhameia]

So my Brass Lotus Society aspirations keep coming back and I really want a con that's headed by radical QWOC. I know there was Think Galactic Con but it's a book group now? I think location is a pretty big deal... when I lived in Hamilton I thought it would be easy for me to organize something, esp with the surrounding POC communities. And there's also the timesuck and energy issue, which I think is the biggest problem.... how to build a con for people exhausted by the outside world, when one is exhausted too?

Gotta think on this more. Especially since I don't have experience with con organizing.

If you do, what do you think are the biggest challenges of putting together a con?

Yeah, I was thinking about that myself (volunteering). I've done a bit of organizing as president of the drama society in my undergrad years but the rules and scale are different, afaict.
