Hi all,
For starters, we are SO sorry about the delay! We really have no excuse beyond wow, this is more difficult than expected. Our expertise is in event planning, not running a shipping empire or a YouTube channel. However, we’ve completed it sufficiently so that we can share what we’ve made with you. We’d like to extend a major thank you to Martin, our Creative Director, and the incredible team of volunteer transcribers! They’re working hard to write captions for over 25 hours of video footage, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their work.
VODS will be dispersed via Eventbrite and Simpli Events, respectively – that way both online and virtual ticket holders can get their hands on the links. Please ensure that you save these links somewhere secure to maintain access to the videos!
However, there is one exception: “The Making of DashCon 2” will be available for free to everyone. You can watch that here!
I didn’t attend IRL or virtually – can I still watch them?
While we understand that people will be excited to share these videos, we ask that you don’t distribute these links or footage to anyone who hasn’t purchased access. Since the proceeds are going to CCS, we want to encourage donations as much as we can.
See our website for the list of recorded panels!
ARE YOU DOING DASHCON THREE???
It’s not called ‘DashCon 3’ but… yes 🙂
The response was totally overwhelming and we’re so enthused by it! However we’re in the exact same place as this time last year- we’ve got to find a new venue to accommodate a larger convention, and that takes a lot of time. Like before, we cannot ethically sell tickets to a convention without a venue, so we’ll have to wait until we get one.
How it looks from our vantage point is this: if we run in 2026, the convention will be about the same size. Conversely, we skip a year and run in 2027, we can scale up a lot more. We’re looking into which option is most feasible, and we’ll keep you posted.
At the very least, we want to do it again, and we’re currently coordinating. We get to do one of the most fun parts – planning the theme, the merch, the general structure. Emailing a bunch of YouTubers to see if they’re game for this sort of thing.
Speaking of – if any amateur entomologists want to tell the world about honeypot ants (and any other bugs of their choosing), email me at activities@dashcontwo.com.
Oh Yeah: Our Discord Server!
We hope you have the opportunity to make some friends 🙂
