MisCon 28 Theme
The Resistance and the Illuminati have been battling in the shadows since before MisCon 1, and even though the Resistance fought valiantly at MisCon 27, the Illuminati still managed to unleash an experimental virus upon the convention. After consulting with scientists, seers, and sages, we've learned the virus has a one year incubation time and will reach outbreak levels in May 2014.
Put on your biohazard combat suit and get ready for MisCon: 28 Years Later.
Our theme changes every year. The yearly theme influences panel topics, invited guests, decoration, and sometimes convention-wide events. We encourage guests, members, and attendees to take each year's theme to heart, and let it influence your thoughts of, and preparation for, MisCon each year.
