JordanCon isn’t just a convention—it’s a full-on family reunion where we celebrate The Wheel of Time, fantasy, and all things awesome. Whether you’re a first-timer (welcome home! 🏡) or a seasoned con-goer (welcome back!), knowing what to expect can help you maximize the fun. I’ve always said it’s a weekend of a lot of introverts pretending to be extroverts… and extroverts being even more extroverted. So grab your best Aes Sedai shawl, practice your Warder stances, and let’s dive in! 🌀
Panels and Programming 📚🎤
JordanCon’s panel lineup is stacked. Want deep Wheel of Time lore discussions? Got ‘em. Need writing and publishing tips? Check. Art demonstrations? Absolutely. Fantasy and sci-fi shenanigans? You bet. Panels feature incredible guests, including authors, artists, and industry pros, who are ready to share their knowledge (and occasionally their unfiltered opinions).
For first-time attendees, we highly recommend Con Tours! These guided walkthroughs will help you get the lay of the land and introduce you to key areas of the con—so you’re not just wandering around like an Aiel in a wetlander city. Trust us, it’s worth it! 😆

Makers and Activities (Registration & Payment Info) 🛠🎭

JordanCon is a cashless convention, but registration for Makers sessions takes place the morning of, and some panel hosts may accept cash for materials. Plan accordingly! Whether it’s costume-making, swordplay (yes, really 🗡), or fantasy world map-making, there’s something for everyone. Some workshops fill up fast or require materials, so check the schedule early if you want in!
The Con Suite: Your Home Away from Home (And It’s Free!) 🍪🥤

This magical land is stocked with snacks and drinks, making it the perfect place to refuel and make new friends. Need a mid-day recharge? Swing by for a snack break. Just don’t ask if it’s really spiced wine—some mysteries should remain unsolved. 😏
