🛍️ Keycon Merch is Here!
Our Keycon 42 merchandise is now available in the webstore for pickup at the convention.
⏰ Pre-orders close Saturday, April 25, 2026 at Noon CDT.
Keycon runs on fans like you. Got some time to spare? Join the volunteer team and help make the magic happen.
Keycon volunteers get:
- a reduced membership rate
- an upgraded to VIP
- an invite to the thank-you BBQ
And satisfaction in helping to create something awesome!
Already booked? You’re in the draw. Not yet? There’s still time 😉
Staying in the block helps support Keycon, and keeps you right in the heart of the action all weekend long.
👉 Book your room here: keycon.org/42/hotel-boo...
See you in the halls.
🏨✨ Book your stay… and one night could be on us 👀
We’re drawing one lucky name from all regular Keycon 42 members who book their hotel room in the official block for both Friday and Saturday nights by May 1, 2026.
The winner will get one of those nights free 🎉
Now… can you come up with the name for the space ship, it’s not live-action.
Now, is there anything special about the whale?
A nice start.
The website does talk about the droid.
👕✨ Think you caught all the references?
Did you know Lar has included at least six sci-fi & fantasy nods in our Keycon 42 t-shirt design? We’re betting even the sharpest fans might miss one or two 👀
Drop your guesses in the comments; and be specific! Let’s see who can name them all.
Rooms are limited, and once the block fills up, that’s it—so if you’re planning to attend, it’s worth locking it in sooner rather than later.
👉 Book your room here: keycon.org/42/hotel-boo...
See you in the halls.
But there’s also a behind-the-scenes piece:
Booking in the hotel block directly supports Keycon. Strong room numbers help us secure better space, better rates, and bring in even more amazing guests for future years.
✨ In short: staying on-site helps make this year and next year better.
🏨 Staying at the convention hotel for Keycon 42?
This is your sign to book.
There’s something special about being right there; late-night hangs, spontaneous hallway conversations, not missing that one panel or party because you had to head home.
Spots are limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone - so if you’ve been considering it, don’t wait too long.
👉 Check out how to run a suite here: keycon.org/42/hospitali...
Let’s make this year’s con floor something special.
✨ Bonus: If you book and pay for Friday and Saturday nights before May 1, we’ll cover your third night (Sunday).
That means more time to host, more time to connect, and one less thing to worry about.
🍹 Thinking about running a Hospitality Suite at Keycon 42?
Now’s the time to lock it in.
Hospitality suites are one of the things that make Keycon feel like Keycon—spaces to gather, relax, share snacks, and create those late-night con memories we all talk about after.
