Everything you may need to know in order to join us at How to Train Your ConFusion

Ways to Attend ConFusion

  • Attendee: Most of the people at ConFusion are simply there to have a good time, meet up with friends, and attend panels and events that happen at the con. These are attendees, and we love you! You are the reason ConFusion happens every year. To come to ConFusion as an Attendee you will need to purchase a membership.
  • Panelist/Presenter/Game Master: ConFusion offers some amazing programming each year which is made possible by amazing people you give their time during the convention to be apart of panels, run games, and give concerts or presentations. We have many tracks and are always on the lookout for interesting and talented people. If you are interested in being a part of programming please check out our Programming page.
  • Volunteer: ConFusion can not get by without volunteers (lovingly referred to as Gophers). The convention is always in need of on-site help and we are happy to reward those that help out. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer please check out our Volunteer Sign Up! page.
    • Gopher Goodies:
    • Gopher Hole: Crash Space for volunteers who have worked at least two hours. Space is limited.
    • Reimbursement/Roll-Over: Contingent upon the conventions success, ConFusion will reimburse a volunteers membership for helping out at the con for 10 hours. You can also pre-register for the following year in exchange for 8 hours.
  • Staff Member/ConCom: ConFusion is lucky to have a dedicated staff and convention committee that works tirelessly all year to put on an amazing event. If you are interested in being a part of this amazing group of people check out our Get Involved! page.

Note: Everyone who comes to ConFusion is expected to understand and follow ConFusion’s policies
