StokerCon™ 2021 Goes Virtual
The Horror Writers Association (HWA) has decided to change StokerCon 2021 “from an in-person event to a virtual platform” according to a special announcement posted on the StokerCon 2021 site.
Our hope is to preserve the spirit of StokerCon™ and create an event that will resemble as closely as possible our usual programming—panels, presentations, interviews, author readings, ceremonies, and the Bram Stoker Awards® presentation. At this time our plans include the Ann Radcliffe Academic Conference, Librarians’ Day, Horror University, and the Final Frame Film Competition. And while we won’t be able to gather in the same place, all attendees of this virtual StokerCon™ will receive—or, outside the U.S., have the option to receive—a printed copy of the beautiful souvenir book created and edited by Josh Viola and HEX Publishing.
Some logistical details, “such as how to register for the virtual event, the price of registration, specific options for the many folks already registered, and so on” have yet to be determined; refunds and transferring registrations to the following year are among possibilities under discussion. According to the announcement, the Curtis Hotel will automatically cancel all reservations which had been made by attendees for the event.
StokerCon 2022 is scheduled for May 12-15, 2022 at the Curtis Hotel in Denver CO, and will include the Bram Stoker Awards banquet.
