Mo*Con 2024 is almost upon us and we’re digging deep into our blerd bag this year!

Look at these legends we’re honored to call friends:
John Jennings**, Sheree Renee Thomas, Dr. Chesya Burke, and Saladin Ahmed.

Look at these special guests blessing us with their presence:
Danian Darrell Jerry, Scott Andrews, Bridget Smith
(Full bios on the website)

We’ll feature some special local artists and have some surprises for you along the way. We’re keeping Mo*Con free (but capping attendance at 100 people. And we’re still looking for sponsors!) so register at the Event Brite link (also in comments).

Join us as we continue to work toward the future we want to see: a diverse, inclusive community where all folks are welcomed. (And special thanks to Bob Freeman for this awesome flyer!)

Save the Date!

Mo*Con 2024 is May 2nd - 5th.

More details and surprises will pop up here throughout the next few months, so bookmark this page and keep an eye on my socials.

Transportation Notes

MINI MARATHON INFORMATION
Saturday is the day of a mini marathon. Below is a link to the race map with predicted times roads will open up. That being said, the following directions should get you to the AMP without issue from the Candlewood Suites. If you need to change your starting location and it changes the end of the route (read, how to bypass the race), make sure your route DOES NOT take you on 10th street. We suggest arriving via 16th street.
The course map with predicted times roads will open back up:
PARKING AT THE AMP
Below is a map of parking available at the AMP, which has a mixture of paid and free parking options. We also have a limited number of parking garage vouchers for all day parking Friday and Saturday. If you're interested in a parking voucher, they will be available to be picked up at our registration desk.
