All Guests

CONvergence Guests of Honor are chosen very carefully. Of course we want our guests to attend panels and share their knowledge and experience with us, but we also try to invite guests whom we genuinely think will enjoy CONvergence and have fun themselves! It’s not at all uncommon to see current and past Guests of Honor hanging out with members in room parties, mingling with the crowd, and actively participating in CONvergence culture!

Here you can find out all about the CONvergence 2024 Guests of Honor!
