2023 ETERNAL MEMBERS FAN MEETUPS

8-23-2023. Join us for our unofficial, fan-run meetups. These fan meetups are run by the Eternal Members fan group. They are not programming by Dragon Con and will therefore not be included any of Dragon Con’s publications or schedules including any printed materials the Dragon Con app.  Please add them to your calendar or organizational system. The official Dragon Con app comes out a few days before the event and allows you to add custom events to your schedule.

Later in the year you will be able to print your own souvenir Dragon Con Eternal Members flyer. I make it every year after all the meetups have been created. This will be in the Eternal Badge pickup room.  Due to time and space limitations, the flyer may not include all meetups.

Are you thinking of buying an Eternal Membership but you’d like to meet some Eternals first? We welcome everyone. You do not have to be an Eternal Member to attend our fan-run meetups.

Everyone is are encouraged to follow the events by enabling all notifications online. Stay up to date on the latest news regarding time and location. Longtime attendees know that nothing on the schedule is set in stone until AFTER it has already happened! ;)
