CONvergence 2022 COVID-19 Information And More!

Greetings to all friends of Connie!

A registration deadline is upon us and due to a continuing global health crisis, we have done what has been done so many times over the last few years. We have extended the deadline! This means you have an additional two weeks to register for CONvergence 2022 at the $85 rate.

The CONvergence 2022 Registration rate for adults (18+) will now increase from $85 to $95 on February 15th. Online registration is easy. Just go to the registration page to get started!

We are also extending the special joint registration rate with 2D Con. When you register for both 2022 conventions at the same time, you will save $5 off your registration for each convention!

• Until February 15, 2022: $115 to register for both conventions!
• February 15, 2022 to June 15, 2022: $125 to register for both conventions!

Head over to the registration page to Register Now.

COVID-19 Safety Information

Due to the ever-evolving conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic in Minnesota, it is hard to know far in advance what decisions to make with regard to health and safety for CONvergence 2022. Regardless, we feel it is important to set some guidelines now because we know many of you are looking for clarity before you commit to attending.

CONvergence 2022 COVID-19 Policies

• Attendees will be required to show proof of full COVID-19 vaccination prior to entry. We will be defining “fully vaccinated” following CDC vaccine guidelines at the time of CONvergence 2022. A CDC card (or a photo of a CDC card on your phone) is best, but any official electronic or printed documentation that you have been vaccinated will be accepted. Note: This may prohibit attendance of children under 5 years old.
• Attendees will be asked to wear a mask covering their nose and mouth in all public areas unless they are actively eating or drinking. If you have questions about what sorts of masks are acceptable, we direct you to the CDC guidelines for face covering.
• At this time, there is no cap on membership for CONvergence 2022.

The trajectory of the pandemic will require us to remain flexible, and these policies will be subject to review as the convention draws closer. Right now, we do not expect them to change.

We are also creating policies that will allow for reasonable accommodation due to verifiable health or accessibility needs. These requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Stay tuned for further updates about this. If you have any questions about COVID-19 policies at CONvergence 2022, please contact the CONvergence board of directors.
