VIRTUAL MEMBERSHIPS ARE STILL AVAILABLE!

The convention may official be over, we may have survived the trip home, but as soon as Dr gandalf recovers and can process them, the virtual panels and, pending any technical difficulties, the panels from the hybrid rooms: main events, Federal Hill, Homeland, Gibson and select events in Kent will be available for rewatch.

Note, the publicly available schedule does not contain links. Check your inbox for a message from regadmin for your virtCon access. Then expand any item on the schedule there to see the links when they show up.

They will be available for a month once we get processed, typically until July.

Reminder, if you are near the BSFS building, we started unloading a little afternoon and could use some fresh hands.

And we are all packed up and loaded out. Thank you for another wonderful Balticon!

We are 100% volunteer run and so many of you were key for making this convention happen.

Of course, a convention would be nothing without attendees.

Thank you, and we hope to see you next year.

Talking to one of our volunteers/attendees, Jenny says that: "Balticon is one of those cons that's enough. So many cons aren't quite long enough, but with the extra day, Balticon is actually enough."

We are already starting to pack up. You've got a little time to duck into the gaming rooms and dealers room before they close for good. We're not quite ready to say goodbye, but the end is nigh.
