Due to the huge demand and the speed at which rooms sold, we wanted to let you know that in 2027 we will operate residential registration on a lottery basis. Let's talk about why and how it will work.26 Jun 2026 16:28 +0000at://did:plc:ykiko7fa24cbv2bmffeylfys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp7eh7mgh225https://bsky.app/profile/scotiacon.bsky.social/post/3mp4vta7si22cHey everyone! We wanted to share an update on our Artist Alley for 2027. In 2026, queues for the Alley caused significant crowding and difficulty for attendees. To avoid this happening again, having considered many options, we have taken the difficult decision not to run an Artist Alley in 2027.25 Jun 2026 17:01 +0000at://did:plc:ykiko7fa24cbv2bmffeylfys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp4vta7si22chttps://bsky.app/profile/scotiacon.bsky.social/post/3mp2dwgujf22cHey all!

Our Dealers' Den aims to open applications early so we can let dealers know whether or not they have a table before they commit to registering. With that in mind, we're happy to announce Den applications open on 6th July at 7pm UK time!23 Jun 2026 17:36 +0000at://did:plc:ykiko7fa24cbv2bmffeylfys/app.bsky.feed.post/3moxwtpk2xu2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/scotiacon.bsky.social/post/3movh5ikkac2bHi folks! As part of a review of our communications we've taken two important decisions that we want to make you aware of.
