FAQ
How will I participate in the con?
The con will be held on several venues, primarily a Discord server and the private Spoilercon YouTube channel. All con information and links can be found on the Spoilercon 2020 Online Discord Server. You must create a free Discord account to register and participate in Spoilercon 2020 Online. You will receive information on how to join the Spoilercon 2020 server and the link to the private YouTube channel a few days before Spoilercon begins.
Can my children attend Spoilercon?
Spoilercon is an adults-only event. You must be at least 18 years old to participate in Spoilercon 2020 Online.
What time zone is the conference taking place in?
PST, Pacific Standard Time. This is the time in Portland, Oregon, and while we can't be there in person this year, we can still set the con to that time. You should adjust the times listed in the schedule to your own time zone.
I registered for Spoilercon 2020 back when I thought it was going to be in Portland. Do I need to register again for the online con?
If you asked for a refund of your registration fees, then yes, you will need to register again. Everyone else who registered and rolled their fees over to 2021 has been pre-registered for the online event. If you are new to Discord, however, or have not given us your Discord handle, we do ask that you email it to us at spoilercon@gmail.com along with your name and email address so we can update our records and ensure your timely access to the con.
How do I get a Discord account so I can register for and participate in the con?
It’s easy! Head to https://discord.com/register. You’ll need to provide an email and birthdate as well as a unique user id and password. Once you create your account and enter Discord, look at the bottom left. You will see your user name plus a # and a number. You will need to provide that full id--user name, #, and number--when you register for Spoilercon so we can verify your registration.
When will the Spoilercon 2020 Online Discord server be available?
All registered participants will gain access to the Spoilercon 2020 Online Discord Channel by October 1st. We will notify everyone by the email they use to register when the server opens.
How can I watch the panels and other events?
A link to the private Spoilercon YouTube channel will be provided in the Spoilercon 2020 Discord Channel. This link will be used for all panels unless otherwise stated in the schedule. The Trivia Challenge and Costume Contest will take place solely within Discord, and it is possible that other events may be on different platforms. We will have clear links and guidance on how to find every single event within the con's Discord server.
If I miss a panel, how can I view it?
We plan to record our panels and make them available for viewing on the Spoilercon YouTube Channel soon after the event ends.
Do you have anything I can watch to get excited about Spoilercon?
Check out the Kramer and Reading interview and other videos that are posted on the public Spoilercon YouTube Channel. You can also see photos from our past in-person cons on the Visions of the Cons past page.
Can I get a refund on my registration donation?
We are not offering refunds on any registration fees or donations.
I forgot to donate to Books to Prisoners when I registered, or I would like to donate without registering. Can I donate now?
Sure you can! Thanks for your donation to this great cause, championed by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading. Head over to our Donation page!
Why did you cancel Spoilercon 2020?
The planning committee reviewed several criteria to determine whether it would be safe to offer an event in Portland Oregon in October. Social and cultural events are currently capped at 25 people, and thus a physical event would not be possible. We hope to return to Portland for our 2021 event.
Will there be Spoilercon 2021?
Absolutely! In fact, we are already working with our venue to plan for an in-person event in Portland in the fall of 2021.
Do you have dates for 2021?
Unfortunately, not yet. When we do, they will be announced through the newsletter. Be sure to sign up so you don’t miss an update.
Is this basically JordanCon on the west coast?
No. This is an event that celebrates Fox and Raven Media and, in particular, the WoT Spoilers Podcast and its fan community. While we will have lots of great events, opportunities to meet virtually and chat with awesome people, and discussions of all things Wheel of Time, our event is much smaller than Jordancon, and not as broad in scope. All fans of the Wheel of Time are welcome to register and attend, however.
