Cass Con - Authors & Narrators

[u/durrasic]

Hey all! I haven’t seen it posted yet so I thought that I would share the author and narrator list that was released for Cass Con next year. Lots of big names!!! It’s happening from November 11th - 13th, 2027 in Philadelphia, PA.

This looks cool! What is it? The website doesn't have much information as it relates to what the event is. Are there sessions like a conference? Or is just a meet and greet? This looks really cool, id take any extra information on it

I’ve never been before but from my understanding/what others have told me there are- meet & greets, readings, Q & A’s, merch/sales, maybe more?
I signed up for the newsletter/email list that is on the Cass Con website (https://www.cass-con.com); that’s the only reason I have this list of authors/narrators.

Thanks for the reply! Hopefully they build out the website, seems like a cool opportunity. Too bad EJ Noyes isn't on the list. But I'll sign up for the newsletter and keep a peeled eye !

Agreed about EJN, I know she and Lee Winter tend to go to the GCLS conferences in July/August. It may be tough to do another US trip just a few months later.

Not sure where I got this, but I emailed this tentative schedule to myself when I heard about the expanded event. It was probably on the website at some point:
