Room parties go through a juried selection to ensure that the party fits the general theme of 2D Con, gaming. Non-gaming related parties are less likely to be accepted.
2D Con has a limit of 14 room parties.
Room parties will be split into designated categories.
Room parties may have more than one category.
- Family Friendly – All ages rooms with activities
- 21+ – Rooms that will be serving alcohol
- Activity – Activities ranging from games to karaoke
Hosting a party counts as 2D Con volunteer hours and can grant access to our volunteer suite.
Room Party hosts are eligible for comped badges to 2D Con, limited to 4 badges per room.
Room Party hosts are responsible for all costs associated such as
