Halcy-Con 2024

Halcy-Con is designed to be a 2-day unique boutique experience with a variety of different activities each day. We will not have single-day or day-of-event badges available for purchase.

Because Halcy-Con is a very tailored, unique-boutique experience we need to take and review panel/exhibit/vendor/sponsor submissions quickly in order to craft the specific programming elements the badgeholders want most.  In fairness, we need to be able to give those people wanting to participate an assurance that a sustainable amount of event support has been received before they commit to provide their time and talent. Quite simply, the number of badges that sell will help guide the type of programming we can deliver, and we need to know this early on.

Unlike traditional convention events that feature a show schedule determined by the showrunners, the content at Halcy-Con is going to be determined and created BY the Starcruiser Superfan attendees, FOR the Starcruiser Superfan attendees.  Shortly after badge sales end, all badgeholders will be able to submit proposals for panels, exhibits and events.  These will be reviewed by the event team to assess feasibility and potential legal/safety issues.  All viable proposals will then be voted on by the badgeholders to determine the event content. Let your imagination run wild!

You bet! We have specific permission from the venue for prop weapons, lightsabers and even droids!  Attendees must practice safety and common sense and always be aware of the location of other nearby attendees when handling lightsabers.  Droids must not damage the venue flooring.

To be able to reserve a large amount of convention center space understandably requires the event managers to promise the venue hotel/resort that a certain number of rooms will be purchased by the attendees during the event.  The hotel reserves a set number of rooms (a "room block") per night, often at a discount.  If the room block does not sell the minimum number of rooms, the event managers are responsible to pay for them.  So it is highly important to an event team that as many attendees as possible also stay onsite at the venue.

We are SO excited to give Starcruiser Superfans an opportunity to showcase their talents and passion at this event!  Our current plan is to open up submissions to all event attendees on Feb 26, 2024 to host a panel, expo or activity at Halcy-Con.  Submission forms, instructions and guidelines will be made available to all event attendees prior to this date. We have already informally received so many fantastic event ideas and can't wait to see what we all create together...AS ONE!

Halcy-Con is BY Starcruiser Superfans, FOR Starcruiser Superfans! Submissions are currently scheduled to open on February 26 through March 31, 2024.  At that time they will be evaluated by the event team to determine their feasibility, safety and legality.  All viable submissions will then be voted on by the event badgeholders in April to determine the final lineup!

You bet! We will have a vendor/artist space at the event.  This will not be a huge show floor with random pop culture merch, but a highly focused selection of vendors and artists that feature Galactic Starcruiser or Galaxy's Edge fan art and artifacts.  We are making vendor/artist space available at a substantial discount over standard conventions but with one requirement: every vendor/artist at this event must produce at least one exclusive item that can only be purchased at Halcy-Con!

No, all vendors/artists will receive a special Vendor badge when they arrive onsite. Vendor badges grant early access to the vendor/artist area to set up their space each day but DO NOT include access to the other show areas or activities. A maximum of two people will be allowed to operate each individual vendor space, and vendors may apply for multiple spaces if desired. If you buy an attendee badge and are subsequently approved to have a vendor/artist space, the cost of your space will be reduced.

We are planning on accepting submissions for vendor/artist space on Feb 26, 2024. As this is a first-year event, we simply cannot predict the market support for a special event like this and feel it is imperative that we give vendors accurate attendee counts before approving applications.  We are going to make vendor/artist space available at a notably lower cost than traditional conventions, but we have one requirement: all vendors/artists must produce at least one exclusive item that is only available for purchase at Halcy-Con.

Absolutely! We are looking for attendees who can volunteer a block of time to assist with event operations. If you volunteer a block of time to assist, you will still need to purchase an attendee badge but there will be some fun volunteer perks!

We are planning on accepting submissions for event sponsors on Feb 26, 2024. As this is a first-year event, we simply cannot predict the market support for a special event like this and feel it is imperative that we give sponsors accurate attendee counts before accepting sponsorships.  We can't thank you enough for your interest and support!

We are holding a pre-event "Halcyon Homecoming" evening mixer on Thursday, Oct 3 that is open to everyone that has booked a room in our special Halcy-Con room block for that night (Thursday, Oct 3).  Room block reservations for a 1-King Bed room on 10/03 will receive 2 tickets to the mixer, room block reservations for a 2-Queen Beds room on 10/03 will receive 4 tickets to the mixer. Let's get this party started early!

We scheduled Halcy-Con on Friday-Saturday to allow attendees a convenient park day on Sunday.  Although it will not be an official Halcy-Con event, we are planning a Sunday, Oct 6 meetup in Galaxy's Edge located in Disney Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World.  We hope to see you there!

While younglings are allowed at this event, we want to be very upfront that the first-year of Halcy-Con has been designed with adult superfans in mind and expect that the finalized event schedule will reflect this.  Children 6 and under will be admitted free when accompanied by an adult with a paid badge.  Ages 7 and up will need an event badge to attend.

Funds received from badge sales are utilized for the production of the event. Badge sales cannot be refunded but can be transferred to another person on or before Sept 30, 2024 if your schedule changes. Visit https://halcy-con.com/badge-transfer/ to initiate a transfer.

No, this is a purely fan-created event. It is not sponsored or endorsed by either Disney or Lucasfilm, Ltd.
