Members of Phandemonium,
Every year, Capricon transforms the Westin Chicago Northshore hotel into a big tent celebration of genre awesomeness. Magic you say? Hardly. Awesome doesn’t just appear at the wave of a wand. Each Capricon begins as a bid idea that brings amazing people together to create exponentially more awesome at a real live convention.
Sound like a good time? It gets better. We are already preparing for Capricon 38, and we want YOU to make it happen!
The Board of Phandemonium is currently seeking candidates for Con Chair of Capricon 38: Have you ever said, “If I ran this convention….?” or “You know what I think?” Then consider running a Capricon! We are currently seeking qualified candidates to apply for Chairperson of Capricon 38 in 2018. Contact boardpresident@phandemonium.org for more information. The bid proposal deadline has been extended to September 15th so we can review them In time for our September 18th Phandemonium Board meeting. Those submitting bids will present them in person to the board on September 18, after which will select and announce the Capricon 38 Con Chair.
Thank you all for your continued support and enthusiasm! There would literally be no Capricon without you. See you all next February!
Best,
Dan Berger
President of the Board, Phandemonium, Inc.

Feeling “Board”?

Members of Phandemonium,
We want YOU! Yes, YOU! Wonder why? It’s simple. Every one of you makes Capricon the convention that it is. As a member of Capricon, you are also a voting member of Phandemonium, the parent corporation of Capricon. So now, as we look for members interested in making Capricon the best darn convention out there, we want YOU!
We are currently seeking candidates for two Phandemonium Board of Directors Member Positions. Every year the membership of Phandemonium (that’s you) elects two new people to serve a three year term on the Board of Directors. The six elected board members, along with an appointed Conchair, Secretary, Treasurer, and SMOF (Supreme Minister of Fun) are tasked with keeping the corporation running and enabling the convention and other outside activities to take place. Would you be interested in helping to guide what other activities Phandemonium does to promote fandom in Chicago? Please email boardpresident@phandemonium.org for more information.

Looking forward to seeing you all at Capricon in February!
