Community Application

2D Con believes that community is the core of a great event. We have many options to help promote other organizations that share that belief.

What is Community Commons?

Community commons, formerly Friends of 2D is where you’ll find information about other conventions, events, local businesses and more. Alongside community commons we may also accept ad-swaps and other partnerships.

Due to limited space in our community commons we review each application prior to approving.

We accept organizations and groups that have a community first focus or are primarily gaming related. We may also accept other gaming related groups such as musicians and performers.
