Bids for JemCon 2025 will be accepted through June 30th, 2024. To submit your bid, email your bid package to jemconforever@gmail.com.

JemCon is a convention BY FANS FOR FANS. Through 20 years of conventions, we’ve had 19 different hosts and each year there is a new host city (other than the years we were virtual and the two conventions in Minneapoils). Hosting JemCon is just like planning a big party for all your most outrageous friends and family!

In order to best prepare you for preparing a bid for JemCon, please read through our Bid Requirements and this Sample Bid and note any questions you might have. JemCon 2018 & 2023 con chair Rachel has also put together her own Lessons Learned document with lots of useful information about her own experience of putting together a JemCon bid.

We know that bidding can be a little intimidating, but we are here to help you through the process. You can also always send questions to jemconforever@gmail.com or contact us through the contact form. We also have a whole team of staff and volunteers (including former hosts) who would be happy to talk you through the process if you have have any questions or would like a friendly ear to bounce ideas off of.
