Dear friends, dear fannish family,

After hosting four successful KiScons in a row from 2022 to 2025 – three online conventions and one hybrid con – our concom decided that it was time for a tiny break to recharge our batteries. Organising conventions is enormous fun, but it also takes a lot of time and energy, and after four very busy years we are giving ourselves a little breathing room.

But don't worry: KiScon will be back! And taking a break from a full convention certainly does not mean that K/S fandom is going quiet in the meantime.

There are still plenty of KiScon activities throughout the year. We have K/S Advent and K/S Spring Fever, the annual Philon Awards, and our regular weekly get-togethers at Pub Night and the Cinema of Squee. And, of course, our KiScon Discord server – affectionately known as the KiScord – remains open all year round for discussions, recommendations, fannish discoveries, silliness, socialising, and generally spending time with fellow K/S fans from all over the world.

We also have a special online event coming up:

Save the date: Saturday, 7 November 2026, 2 PM EST – KiScon ST 60 Birthday Bash!

Join us on Zoom to celebrate Star Trek's 60th anniversary together. During the Birthday Bash, we will announce the winners of the Philon Awards 2026 and stream a fun and upbeat vid show. Put on your favourite Star Trek T-shirt, bring out your best Star Trek mug, and come celebrate with us. (Bring your own Romulan Ale.)

No registration is needed. We will post the link to the Zoom room closer to the event. We hope to see many of you there!

You can follow our announcements on Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, or by signing up to our mailing list. You are also very welcome to join the KiScon Discord server, whether you have attended KiScon in the past or are simply interested in K/S, our events, and future conventions.

Wishing you all the best, especially good health,

T’Lara and StarshipLillian
