Donate to PFund VGM CON is excited to support the PFund Foundation, an Upper Midwest organization that builds equity with LGBTQ+ communities.

VGM CON 2026, Midwest Speedfest, and the 2026 Charity Album Jam will all be raising money for PFund’s Emergency Fund Campaign.

Learn more about PFund, their mission, and how we're partnering here: vgmcon.org/activities/d...

We are pleased and proud to have PFund Foundation as our 2026 charity partner!

Pfund builds equity with LGBTQ+ communities across the Upper Midwest by providing grants and scholarships, developing leaders, and inspiring giving.

We hope that this system will allow panelists and attendees to more effectively connect with each other, so that panel rooms are full and attendees can walk in more confidently! Be sure to check out the full panel schedule online now!

We will be using a simple, two-tier color-coding system on the printed schedules outside each panel room. So in addition to being able to see the time, title, and host of each panel, you will now see the Topic and the Format too.

We’ve been to a lot of conventions over the years, and we recognize the challenges that attendees face when selecting what panels to go to.

Ehat if there was a way to know a bit more about a panel before you stepped in?

This year, we’re excited to introduce a new experiment—Panel Categories!

Sensory Sanctuary About MNeurodivergent: MNeurodivergent is a group by and for neurodivergent people. Our mission is to reduce isolation by creating welcoming spaces that support neurodiverse people to make meaningful ...

There will be a swing, alternative seating, and other sensory regulation tools available. It is hosted by MNeurodivergent as an inclusive space for everyone to enjoy.

Let's face it - sometimes conventions get overstimulating! That's where the Sensory Sanctuary comes in!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, or just curious about it, this is a space for you.

Are you looking for a way to perform at VGM CON?
