COMMUNITY

New to the con? Don’t know anyone? Don’t worry!

We have a buddy system to match people attending the con for the first or second time with TGIF/F veterans. This way, you’ll have a friendly face to sit by in panels, join for a meal, or ask questions throughout the weekend, as needed. We do our best to match buddies who have things in common that are important to you.

Having a buddy is optional but can be a great way to make new friends. We have a Buddies Meetup on Thursday night, where you’ll get to know your buddy and meet other con attendees. We’ll also host a Buddy Lunch on Friday so you can split a meal with your new friends and get ready for a great first day.

Between registration opening and two weeks after the con, we run a temporary Discord server. Here, registered con attendees can access chat rooms to get to know each other better and help plan for the con. We feature channels for:

-General chat / getting to know you

-Finding hotel roommates

-Coordinating travel for the con

-Nominating panel topics/ideas

-Making suggestions for vids or other things about the con

-Discussing specific interests like video games, pets, sports, books, etc.

And more!
