There are three awesome events coming up this Fall: MaulCon II, Zombie Nexus, and SciFact. These events do not run themselves, and we need your help to make them happen.

We are always looking for people to help run these great, community events. Volunteers can get free admission, lodging, and even free food at some events. If you would like to help out, email us.

MaulCon II
Hampshire Maul

In the Hampshire Mall, there is a large and empty storefront. When looking for a place to host a game convention, I realized that it would be an awesome place to game, as it looks like the kind of place you would hide from zombies after the apocalypse. It's also awesome because it is right next to a food court, a game store, and anything else you might need to buy during a game con.

MaulCon I got 45 attendees, and we are hoping to double that for the second one. Our main strategy for doing so is not scheduling it during a school break. Additionally, we will be working with the great folks at JiffyCon to bring a full indie game track to MaulCon, making MaulCon bigger and better and exposing the awesomeness that is indie games to a wider audience.

SciFact
October 24-25, 2009
UMass Amherst Campus Center

Cutting edge science. Developments in the world of knowledge. That's what SciFact is about. Modeled on a sci-fi convention, SciFact is an event where people involved in or at knowledgeable about the world of science and technology will present on various hard science topics in a way that is accessible to common science geeks.

We are still working on finding a proper affordable venue for the event, but we are aiming to having it in mid-November.

In addition to the panels, there are also plans to get some science related entertainment for Friday and Saturday evenings of the event: perhaps science related filkers, games, improv or some such.

SciFact needs the following staff and participants...
Presenter Recruitment, Scheduling, and Wrangling
Publicity
Registration
Presenters (anyone who is wise the in the ways of science)
and more

Affiliate program also available.
