March 14th-15th | Gainesville, FL | Free Admission | swampcon.org

SwampCon is a FREE, multigenre convention held in Gainesville, Florida on the UF campus. Our event is entirely student-organized and volunteer-run. This event has been a labor of love for almost a decade, and we can’t wait to show what we have in store! 

This year, we bring you SwampCon: HACKED, a cyberpunk thriller pitting the ominous MARSHCORP LLC against the plucky hacker Rebellion. Hearkening back to the movies and RPGs of old, and looking forward to the high-tech future, SwampCon 2020 will feature the time-honored struggle of man against machine.

SwampCon: HACKED will be held March 14th-15th, 2020 and run all day for both days. It will be hosted at the J. Wayne Reitz Student Union on the University of Florida campus.

As we approach the event, for the second year in a row we are pleased to offer admission to some of our exclusive events!

For nine years now, SwampCon has been entirely free to attend. Each year we grow in size and take on more roles, and as a result, we rely on more funding from sponsorships and donors like you! Because of the nature of our convention, we do not make any profit; none of our staff are salaried, and all the money we raise goes directly into funding this event. 

Contributions will go toward funding:

  • Our venue! Room rentals, equipment, and venue labor costs are all vital to keeping the convention running. This includes lighting and sound costs for out best events, like idolfest and the drag show.
  • Special guests! The more support you give, the more guests we can invite! This goes double for guests outside of Florida.
  • Printed materials! Having printed con guides, maps, schedules, and souvenir items helps make our con more accessible and fun.
  • Volunteer and performer perks! This includes things such as food and bottled water day-of.

Unfortunately, this year more than ever before, our budget is very tight. Due to changes in student government legislation, we have not received the same level of financial support from the university, and still have to pay the same fees to use their space. Last year, our venue alone cost over $8000, so every bit helps!

Our Premier Events fundraiser offers something you can't get anywhere else: tickets to our Exclusive Maid Cafe Experience, and private sessions in our official SwampCon Escape Room. On top of that, we're also offering another chance at VIP status and our SwampCon: HACKED MARSHCORP t-shirt. 



  • The Exclusive Maid Cafe Experience:
     SwampCon Maid Cafe has teamed up with Idols A La Carte to give its donors a truly elegant experience. Donors will gain access to a private Maid Cafe Experience in the morning both Saturday and Sunday, as well as VIP seating at the public performances throughout the day. The Exclusive morning event has open seating for donors, but the VIP seating during the day will be assigned in advance by donor selection, as there is limited space at each public performance.

    At the performance you will receive light refreshments. Our Maid Cafe is always packed, so if you want to skip the line this perk is perfect for you! 

    EDIT: Idols A La Carte has provided us with their schedule! Here's the performer breakdown:

     


  • SwampCon: HACKED Escape Room RSVP: 
    The SwampCon escape room is returning, and this time, in addition to the general admission sessions, we're offering private escape room experiences through the Indiegogo! Each backer will be able to bring up to 7 of their friends and enjoy the 15-minute room escape all by themselves. Are you up for the challenge?
     


  • VIP Status:
      You will be granted access to limited VIP seating at all of our main and special events including the Drag Show, Maid Cafe, and Special Guest Panels. You will also gain access to our VIP Lounge, which will have free food and drinks, and a quiet place to relax after hours of exploring SwampCon’s many attractions, hosted at the Reitz Union’s Matthews Suite. You will also gain access to our VIP chat, which you can use to contact volunteers for assistance during the convention.

    NOTE: Purchase of our VIP tier also includes access to our Exclusive Maid Cafe Experience. If you purchased VIP Status from a previous fundraiser and have not yet received an email regarding the Exclusive Maid Cafe Experience from our fundraising staff please email swampconfundraising@gmail.com.
     


  • Indiegogo Exclusive Rebellion T-Shirt: This is your last chance to grab our exclusive t-shirt design. The Rebellion T-Shirt will NOT be sold at the event, so if it's in your nature to resist the 'CORP act while you can!

SwampCon is organized by college students who devote their time and effort to making a free, enjoyable, and family-friendly convention. Each year we learn more about planning, how we can improve, and what you, the donors and attendees, love about SwampCon the most!

We make SwampCon for you, and it is your support that drives us forward and keeps us dedicated.
