Inclusive Connection From Everywhere

Happy Cyberman Day! CONsole Room is returning January 20-22, 2023 with our HYBRID format. This means that we will continue to have in-person AND virtual options for our 10th annual convention!

Last year we introduced our hybrid format for the first time. We are excited to continue to improve and refine our hybrid options in an effort to actively include all Whovians around the world, including those unable to attend our convention in person. Our two virtual tickets, CYBERMITE and CYBERMAN, provide two options for attendees to join us virtually.

Our CYBERMITE ticket is FREE for all and provides access to our Discord channel and limited access to virtual content.
Our CYBERMAN ticket is $35 per person and includes additional virtual content, including access to Guest of Honour and Featured Guest virtual panels and the opportunity to participate in the panels as they air live.

Try a Staycation with Virtual Access

Unable to join the events in person but would still like to feel like you’re on vacation? Consider a weekend getaway by staying at our convention hotel and participating in virtual content from the comfort of a hotel room!

Our room block is OPEN until January 5, 2023 or until the room block is full, whichever comes first. Learn more on the HOTEL PAGE on our website.
