Help fund QGCon 2025!
Hey folks! We hope you’re getting excited about QGCon 2025. In case you missed it, we launched ticket sales and announced our two keynotes: tabletop RPG game designer Avery Alder, and queer games academic TreaAndrea Russworm. We’re looking forward to seeing you all in September, and to announcing our conference schedule and arcade lineup very soon 🎮 👀
Today, though, we’re reaching out to ask for your help funding QGCon 2025. As you may know, this has been an immensely challenging year for fundraising around the world. QGCon is currently navigating a CAD$12,000 budget shortfall. We hope to raise funds, with your support, so that we can:
✈️ offer travel grants to presenters in need of aid
🥪 feed our speakers and arcade presenters
📰 print paper programmes, posters, and conference materials
💸 pay our keynote presenters fairly for their time, travel, and expertise
We are proud to host one of the most accessible conferences out there, and the more funds we raise, the more we can support our presenters. We can still run the conference with our current finances; but we need your help to keep QGCon free and affordable for everyone, and to ensure we can keep running for years to come!
Here's the link to our fundraising page where you can donate.
We are also still seeking sponsorship! We offer many benefits to organizations who support us, including shout outs at the conference and adspace for games on our livestream. If you or your studio are interested in supporting us, drop us a line at qgconference@gmail.com.
If you are unable to spare the funds, please help us by amplifying this fundraiser on social media and sharing it within your networks!
