Earlier this month, JordanCon 2025 Guest applications opened. I spoke with Nancy Greene, Guest Relations Director, about what it means to be a Guest at JordanCon.
Guests are visiting 
professionals at JordanCon who have a comped badge and are expected to be on a certain number of panels during the weekend. Professionals of all sorts will be considered, including writers, artists, scientists, and makers.
Guests need to be responsive to emails, Nancy says, and if we don’t hear from Guests in a timely manner, their application may not be approved, or they may end up on panels where they have less to contribute. Guest Services does their best to ensure Guests are placed where they have the most interest. Guests are also expected to engage with attendees and other Guests.
Unfortunately, Nancy says, “we do have to limit the number of Guests each year. This sometimes leads to great heartbreak as we have to say ‘not this year’ to past Guests to ensure we can bring in new Guests each year.” Track Directors look for people who can contribute to panel topics, so if you’re unsure about what topics JordanCon covers, check the Programming page for ideas.
What advice does Nancy have for Guests? First, let Guest Services know if you’re unable to make it to a panel so they can ensure you’re ok, and so they can make programming adjustments. “Also, ask us anything you have questions about,” she says. “Someone has already asked the question and someone in the organization has the answer.”
“We’re here to make the experience as seamless and wonderful as possible for Guests,” Nancy concludes.
A separate form for those fans and attendees who wish to be Program Participants will be released at a later date.
If you want to be considered as a Guest for JordanCon 2025, fill out the form as soon as possible; spaces are limited and can fill as early as November.
