Our PROGRAM SCHEDULE WIKI displays our most current scheduling.
Albacon loves costumes. We encourage our members to wear them throughout the con. Unlike costumes created especially to be shown onstage during the masquerade, hall costumes are costumes that are comfortable and sturdy enough for you to wear for hours at con events, parties, and in the halls! You may win a hall costume award ribbon and certificate from one of our roving hall costume judges.
Since Albacon 1996, gaming has been a part of the Albacon experience. Our family style gaming environment offers you a chance to stop by between panels/events and relax for a few minutes. Or stay longer and participate in a variety of games. More Info on Gaming
Albacon 2010 will be having two video rooms, featuring the latest anime in the US, and live action films from around the world.
A hit from last year, Albacon is repeating the Thursday evening Writers' Workshop Party.
Friday's all-day writers' workshop is back! We will have panels addressing a variety of topics such as breaking into writing, the business of writing, blogging, networking, queries, promotion and podcasting. The following authors will be there: More Information

The Masquerade is Saturday evening’s big show! Costumers from the local area and beyond will present their creative best in a stage show the evening of Saturday, October 9. Expect everything from one-person presentations of marvelous costuming design to elaborate team presentations of costumes that glow and rotate! The show will take place in the Squire Room. You’ll want to get a good seat.
