Well, that’s a bummer. According to a submit on the official Con of Thrones web site, this 12 months’s occasion has been referred to as off.
Con of Thrones is the world’s premiere unofficial conference devoted to all issues Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon and A Song of Ice and Fire. I’ve been to the conference a number of instances and it was all the time a ton of enjoyable. This 12 months’s occasion was going to be held on the Hyatt Regency Orlando in Orlando, Florida from August 25-27, however no extra. From the web site:
We’ve made the troublesome choice to cancel Con of Thrones 2023. Due to the more and more anti-humanitarian laws and ambiance in Florida and based mostly on further suggestions from companions, attendees, and friends, it has turn out to be clear that if we have been to proceed, Con of Thrones 2023 wouldn’t be the extent of occasion that the group expects and deserves.
Con of Thrones 2023 partly on account of “increasingly anti-humanitarian legislation and atmosphere in Florida”
So far because the “anti-humanitarian legislation and atmosphere” is anxious, this possible refers back to the document variety of racist and anti-LGBTQIA+ payments debated amongst legislators beneath Florida governor Ron DeSantis, together with bans on gender-affirming healthcare, felony punishments for trans individuals who use loos matching their gender, restrictions of what topics school college students can examine, and extra. As for “additional feedback from partners, attendees, and guests,” we are able to solely guess on the particulars.
Fans who’ve already bought tickets or add-on experiences will obtain an electronic mail with refund and switch choices. Previously reserved resort lodging will likely be routinely cancelled.
After Con of Thrones 2019, the con went darkish for some time through the pandemic. I used to be wanting ahead to getting again there and hope the con finds a brand new venue in time.
