We are taking a variety of measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses at this year's convention. What do these mean to you?

The past few months have been among the most tumultuous in Arisia’s long history. After the loss of our conchair Jodie Lawhorne, two people stepped up to complete his work. In late October we learned about a serious incident involving one of our volunteers that was reported but never written down many years ago. The individual was put through our current more robust incident response protocol and was subsequently banned from all future participation in Arisia.

Saturday, December 31, will be the last date one can get the Bivalent Booster and have it effective by the start of Arisia.
