Dear Friends of Glass City Con,

The staff of Glass City Con regretfully announces that Glass City Con is officially cancelled for this year. Our primary sponsor has suddenly and unexpectedly removed their sponsorship. Consequently, we have no location and drastically reduced funding. We are beginning the process of refunding vendors, artists, and pre-registrants. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you, and thank you for your understanding and support.

We are taking steps to privatize Glass City Con and make it an independent entity, which will allow us to be more flexible in several areas and move to a new location. It will take time to build the necessary funding and staff to begin this endeavor. Please be confident that the Glass City Con staff wants to bring back the convention as much as our fans!

As we assess our options for the future, there are a few things you can do to help. We will be planning fund raisers for the convention in the future, so please check back for more information on this.

Primary financial sponsorship for Glass City Con is slated to be provided by OtakUtopia, an up-and-coming anime and gaming vendor in Northwest Ohio, run in part by convention organizer, Chris Zasada. They have pledged to help finance Glass City Con, so please support them. More information on OtakUtopia will be posted here.

The Glass City Con staff will be involved in this year's TAG Fest at Owens Community College. Please check back for more details about this event.

If you are a vendor, artist, or pre-registrant, we will be refunding money over the next week. Those who have paid in cash or check may have to wait for the Owens Community College to provide a refund check, which will be sent directly from the college. If you don't receive your refund by the end of April, contact us. Don’t forget to cancel your hotel reservations as soon as possible.

Thank you to everyone for the great three years of Glass City Con! We hope to see you all again! If you have any questions or comments, please address them at the forums or contact us.
