Virtual Convention

Buffalo NASFiC 2024 is delighted to announce its plans for online attendance. These include streaming of selected programming and events, online communication and community engagement.

Our online convention experience aims to:

• make our membership more inclusive and diverse, opening the event up to individuals and communities who have historically faced practical and/or financial barriers to physical attendance
• make our convention content more inclusive and diverse, featuring a wider range of voices from across the global community of science fiction
• provide a richer experience to our in-person membership (additional displays, additional ways to connect and opportunities to catch up with content they missed on the day).
• provide an experience to previous attendees who cannot attend in person this year (for instance due to cost of attendance, travel issues, mobility or disability limitations, Covid-19 concerns, conflict with other commitments, etc).

Technical Platform

Our technical platform will be based on RingCentral Events for video streaming and Discord for text interaction and community forums.

We will be providing more details on how to access the platform soon.

Online Attending Memberships

All Adult and Young Adult Attending Members of Buffalo NASFiC 2024 automatically receive full access to the online convention experience.
