Hours & Location
22nd Annual USS Nokomis CONvergence Blood Drive
Friday, July 7, 2023
9:30am – 3:30pm
In the great tradition of blood drives at science fiction conventions throughout the country, the crew of the USS Nokomis is proud to host this year’s blood drive. Summer is a very tough time for our blood supply as high schools are closed and donors take vacations, but we have a great chance to help make up that shortage during the convention. For the past two decades, CONvergence members have touched over 2,000 lives with donations and we’re still going strong!
Schedule Your Donation
There are many ways you can schedule your CONvergence blood drive donation appointment!
- Find the USS Nokomis at a table near the escalator on the 1st floor on Friday during the blood drive

- Call 651-283-6736
- Use the Blood Donor App
Every donor will receive a special Red Cross dry bag, plus the coolest (and hardest to get) badge ribbon at CONvergence!
Tips for Donors
- Sign up early so your donation doesn’t interfere with any events you’re planning to attend.
- If you plan to wear a costume at CONvergence, make sure to design it to accommodate a bandage on your arm if necessary.
- Make it a point to stay hydrated. CONvergence ConSuite offers bottled water!
- Eat something. Especially when donating blood, it’s very important to eat. CONvergence ConSuite has rice, fruit, and other snacks.
