Please consider contributing to Community Support!
One of the core goals of the NecronomiCon Providence convention is to provide a welcoming haven for all practitioners and fans of Weird fiction, art, and academia – and, for each convention, we offer support to help folks get here, to overcome financial hurdles or less-tangible barriers to inclusion and participation. We have heard from MANY of you that you’d like to more actively participate in helping us achieve the goal of a broadly diverse, vibrant, and embracing weird community. So, we’re putting the virtual hat out and we would like to ask you all to donate what you feel comfortable. These donations will help defray admission fees and lodging and travel expenses of folks who would otherwise be unable to attend and whose participation adds important elements to the overall convention. You’ll find this donation option on the eventbright page.

*Our public health policy and the ongoing Covid pandemic (updated 12 July 2022, by Niels Hobbs, convention director):

PLEASE READ THIS>
The Covid pandemic, which has killed millions of people over the past two years, is still a threat. New variants may be becoming less dangerous on average (though the evidence is still very much being gathered), per case, but are also far more transmissible and infectious. On the balance, that means that Covid is still a threat, especially for a convention that prides itself on being international. There are plenty of folks who are “done with covid” but we simply can’t take that approach. It would be grossly irresponsible of us. We’ve already skipped one year out of a basic sense of caution and it was a very real possibility we cancelled this year again. The ONLY reason we decided to move forward with this year is because we felt we could be responsible enough and respectful of ALL attendees and guests wishes and best interests. I realize that some are inconvenienced by many of the standard health policies related to Covid, and surely we’re all sick of it. But, let me be VERY CLEAR: I will not have it on my conscience to have ANYone get sick at NecronomiCon – or, equally plausible, bring something home with them to get family-members and loved-ones sick (or worse) – without us at least doing what we fairly can to minimize this and simply enact some basic sensible precautions that are minimal and proven effective. 

The bottom line is NecronomiCon could very easily not have happened this year and maybe it shouldn’t have happened at all. But, too many of us have really longed for this. So, in the spirit of holding our dearly missed gathering, with risks minimized as much as we can sensibly do, I ask you all to understand and respect our policy here. If you feel uncomfortable with this, please refer to our refund policy. For those who’ve been deeply concerned by our thin policy, I sincerely apologize and hope this provides some degree of ease.

So, to cut to the chase, here are the things we’re doing and requiring to minimize risk and maximize reward for NecronomiCon 2022, so that we may more likely have a 2024 convention:

1. By attending this event you assume the risk of being exposed to COVID-19.

2. We are requiring mask-wearing for ALL attendees, guests, and staff while indoors and will make KN95 masks readily available. The only exceptions to this, apart from being outside, is for speakers or presenters who are distanced from their audience, or staff who need to be clearly heard and are also distanced. The only other exception will be during the very few events where eating or drinking will occur – though we’ve decreased the capacity for such events.
Masks are well-documented to be effective (though not perfect) at decreasing the spread of Covid in all its variants. Given the rate at which variants are overcoming other tactics (vaccines and testing), we feel very comfortable requiring this one small thing of all our attendees – balancing what some might view as the inconvenience of masking with the far greater worry of risk of causing serious sickness and death.

3. We are distancing and decreasing room capacities, placing fewer panelists on the dais, and having fewer players in games.

4. We will provide visible stickers for folks who wish to show how comfortable they are with proximity to others.

5. We are still strongly recommending vaccinations for all attendees, guests, and staff – but recognize there are some valid reasons for exception to this. We also recognize that vaccines aren’t foolproof against Covid, but they still help your (and our collective) odds greatly, even if you’ve already contracted Covid and have some resulting immunity.

6. Rapid testing is also still recommended, PCR testing all the more so. Rapids aren’t as effective, given the current variants, but we do recommend folks continue to test before traveling, as recommended by CDC/WHO and required by many travel and international agencies.

We understand that even the wearing of masks may be unacceptable for some. We’d rather make this a safer event and welcome you back in 2024 where, hopefully, sch policies are not necessary. Personal inconvenience is a small price to pay for public health.

Let’s all work together to make it as likely as we can that this is all behind us by the time we get to 2024!
