3+ Full Days
This is a fan convention over three and a half days. We’ll kick off the party Thursday evening with registration, fun events, and socializing opportunities with new friends. Then, Friday through Sunday, programming runs morning til night with meal breaks built in. For the full con experience, plan to arrive Thursday afternoon and stay until Monday morning. Many people will extend their trip further to have more social time or save on flight costs, so check with your friends to see how you can make the most of your vacation.
-
Under 100 Attendees
Unlike large conventions where you might get lost in the crowd, we choose to keep it on the smaller side with a cap of 100 attendees, plus staff. This provides a more intimate experience for making friends, building relationships, and taking part in conversations — not just listening to other people have them. Our attendees nominate and vote on panel topics to create a con they want to attend. TGIF/F is built with you — the femslash fan — in mind, and we want you to be a part of shaping what happens there.
-
20+ Discussion Panels
Every year, TGIF/F features meta discussion panels about a wide variety of topics in the broader realm of femslash fandom. We also feature focused discussions about single fandoms/shows as well as multi-fandom genres. This is a great opportunity to connect with other attendees, discussing recent media sources as well as those that have come and gone. Best of all, our attendees vote on what makes the schedule. And if you don’t see what you want to talk about on our schedule, create your own DIY panel!
