morgandawnImportant note about online conventions:
1. Find out what their 'con-time' is - if the convention is held in the US and you are based in the EU, you may miss programming
2. Push the organizers to be upfront exactly what will be recorded so that if you are in another time zone, you can watch later. Many will be vague say "some things will be available for playback" or "we will decide this 2 days before the convention starts". But in many cases all that will be available will be the vidshow or a 20 minute pre-recorded slideshow presentation. Which is fine for many, just be aware.
Also, most of the conventions below will be using Discord to conduct all convention chat. Many will be using Zoom as well. Check to see you computer and Internet can handle the bandwidth and programs
Finally, the conventions that will be hosting hybrids - online and in person -- will be doing this for the very first time. If the convention membership is small (under 150 ), you can expect activity and options to be weighted either towards in person or online because there may not be enough members doing both.
