MisCon 26 Theme
Toss Hansel in the oven, kiss a slimy frog, and put a pea beneath your mattress. MisCon 26: A Fairy Tale is on the way. In recent years, MisCon has been hijacked by the Illuminati, become a crossroads of time and space, and gone Silver.
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.
