Get ready for an amazing year and more action-packed announcements as we focus on creating the improbable! Team SiliCon!
This is my local con, but various travel plans have always kept me out of town in previous years. I will likely attend just one day, but looking forward to finally being able to support it!
We would love to see you there!Who is going this year? Would anyone like to have a FoCC get-together?
Dear Silicon Attendees,Until now, all of our ticket purchasers have either been vaccinated or were planning to provide proof of a negative Covid test upon arrival.Based on CDC guidelines, there are no current requirements in place for providing proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test, and because of this, we have amended our policy to remove onsite testing and/or proof of vaccination.However, this does not mean we are less concerned about your health and safety. If you plan to attend SiliCon, we recommend testing yourself before arriving if you have not been vaccinated. Please do not attend the convention if you are not feeling well or have any cold-like symptoms. Masks will not be required, but we do strongly recommend wearing one.We are beyond thrilled to see all of your healthy and happy faces this weekend!-SiliCon with Adam Savage
I was relieved... one less thing to do. And given how disorganized they are this year, I'm sure that the lines would have been very long.
My guess is that this is a financially-motivated move. Did you see the big 'buy tickets' button right under the announcement in the email? They clearly have not sold a lot of badges. And since the majority of people who attend this con are local, my guess is that they made this change last minute to encourage more badge sales amongst those who did not like the restriction.
