Guest Application RavenCon strives to create an original guest list every year. We work diligently all summer long to finalize our guest list for the following year. We book approximately 110 guests each year and offer over 300 hours of programming. We want to introduce the attendees of RavenCon to talented new writers and artists and allow them to meet and interact with them. RavenCon is the con of opportunity; it’s a place for people to network, create bonds and friendships, meet new people, read new books, see new art, to find a new writer or artist to follow. If you would like to participate as a guest, please fill out the Guest Application. We require our guests to participate in a minimum of four (4) hours of programming. If you are accepted as a guest, you will receive 2 badges (large groups will receive badges based on the number of people participating in programming). Any financial reimbursements or compensations (hotels, travel, etc.) are reserved for our Guests of Honor only. Applications for RavenCon 2026 are now open!
