Dear friends, dear fannish family,

After the great success of our first virtual KiScon last year, the beloved Kirk/Spock convention will return in 2023, again as an event entirely taking place online. Once more we aim to get as close to the traditional KiScon atmosphere as possible. There will be panels and workshops, games and contests, vid shows, and opportunities for many inspiring and inspired discussions. One of the highlights this year is the return of the Philon Awards; the winners will be announced at the convention.

Join us right from your computer or mobile device, no matter where you are on the globe.

We use the Conline platform that was developed by a fellow fan; it is the central hub that integrates with Zoom for the panels, YouTube for the livestreams and playlists, and Discord as place to socialise. If that sounds terribly technical and complicated to you, or if you have never taken part in an online convention before: fear not, we are here to guide through everything step by step, and we will organise training sessions so you can get familiar with the technology before the convention weekend.

As an in-person event, KiScon will hopefully return in 2024; it will be a hybrid format, though, combining the best of both worlds: in-person and online.

You can follow our announcements on Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, or by signing up to our mailing list. You are also invited to join our brand-new KiScon Discord server; we will use it during the convention (with specifically dedicated channels exclusive to convention attendees, to provide better privacy), but it is also meant to be a place for past KiScon attendees and fans interested in future KiScon events, to discuss all things K/S and to get to know each other better.


Wishing you all the best, especially good health,

T’Lara and StarshipLillian

Con-Chairs KiScon
