Posted onAuthorCullen Johnson

MidSouthCon 41 is now accepting panel proposals and gaming event submissions! Have a creative idea, niche expertise, or a topic you’d love to share with fellow fans? Our panels run for one hour and can cover anything from the supernatural to beauty tips and everything in between. If you’ve ever wanted to volunteer as a panelist—now’s the time!

We’re also looking for dedicated Game Masters (GMs) to help bring our gaming track to life! Whether you want to run an RPG, board game, card game, or something entirely different, we’d love to see what you have in mind.

GMs agree to:
• Run events either as a GM-only or play as well (but if your event sells out and you haven’t purchased a seat, you must GM only)
• Provide the core materials needed to play
• Tidy the play space afterward and clear out in time for the next event
• Let us know if you need any special accommodations

If you’ve got a great idea—submit it now!

Vendor Applications Now Open for MidSouthCon 41!

Posted onAuthorCullen Johnson

Due to high demand, MidSouthCon selects vendors through an application process. Applying does not guarantee space, and the deadline to apply is December 17. The application link is https://tabletop.events/conventions/midsouthcon-41/exhibitors/apply. All applicants should list every type of merchandise they plan to bring, as unlisted items may not be approved.

Applications will be reviewed to ensure a diverse mix of vendors, and we may contact you with questions—please respond promptly, as failure to do so may move you to the waitlist. Approved vendors will receive booth assignments and payment instructions via email; missing the response deadline will forfeit your spot.

The Dealer’s Room is located in the main ballroom, has set hours, and is secured when closed; vendors must be open during all official hours. Artist Alley is an unsecured hallway space with flexible hours, intended for creators such as artists, authors, and small publishers. Please choose the correct location when applying, as mistakes may delay acceptance.

Due to space constraints this year, vendors may request a maximum of two booth spaces, and tables are not included with booth spaces.

MidSouthCon 41: The Update You Didn’t Know You Were Waiting For

Posted onAuthorCullen Johnson

Back in June, we said we’d have big announcements about MidSouthCon 41. And technically, we still can—but only if your definition of “big announcement” includes things like “we’re still working on it.” Or for particularly large values of “June”.

Yes, friends, the wheels of convention planning are turning… just maybe not at ludicrous speed. We’re deep in negotiations, scouting venues, syncing calendars, consulting oracles, bribing dragons (okay, just one dragon, and only with snacks), and doing all the behind-the-scenes work needed to make MidSouthCon 41 our best yet.

We know everyone’s eager to mark their calendars and start planning costumes, games, panels, and general geekery. Trust us—we’re just as eager to get those details finalized and out into the world. But we also want to make sure everything is locked down right, not just right now.

So hang tight, keep your dice warm and your cosplay sewing machines humming. We promise to announce the date and venue as soon as the stars align (or at least the contracts do).

Thanks for your patience and support—we’ll be back soon with real, honest-to-goodness news!

Stay nerdy,
The MidSouthCon Team
