Only 19 days until PolyCon 42 and we’re scurrying behind the scenes like mice making sure everything is ready for the big day. We got shirts, we got dice, we got games, we mostly got staff … has anyone seen our towel?
Con Hours
Due to Cal Poly staffing, we have the venue for a limited time. Here are the official cons hours:
Saturday, June 21 from 8am to 7:30pm
Sunday, June 22 from 8am to 6pm
One Badge — All Weekend
We only have one kind of paid badge: $35 for the whole weekend! Students and attendees under 18 still get in free. Volunteers and GMs who have 5+ hours of time get in free.
Saturday BBQ cancelled — BUT STILL A FREE MEAL!
We couldn’t justify having two hours taken from precious game time. Instead, PolyCon will be providing a free meal of pizza and some other options. More details will be provided closer to con.
Sunday Auction — Still on!
We moved the auction to a little later in the day. Here’s the new schedule:
Noon: Open for Lot Submissions
3-5pm: Silent Auction
5-6pm: Live Auction
Game Submission Deadline
Saturday, June 7th at 11:59:59 PDT is the last day to submit your game or event for PolyCon. Take pity on our Game Scheduler who has to work with these reduced hours and get your games in ASAP!
No deadline to Volunteer!
We always need help to run the convention. And you can get into con for free if you sign up for a shift!
Parking
As of this email sent on 6/2/25, the parking will be free in General and Staff parking areas on Saturday and Sunday.
To know what the Parking situation is like at con, please refer to Cal Poly’s Parking Enforcement Page for the most up to date information.
That’s all for today! We’ll send more missives as we have them. Please reply to this email if you have any questions, or email polyconslo@gmail.com
Looking forward to the convention this weekend! See you guys soon.
