To our ConFAB Friends,
We are 8 weeks out from ConFABulous 2026 at the Crowne Plaza Suites MSP Airport – Mall of America, 3 Appletree Square in Bloomington, MN on October 2-4, 2026. Register now at https://confabulous.org/wordpress/registration/
Once again our programming space is all on the hotel’s second floor, which is on the same level as the top floor of the parking garage and accessible via stairs and elevators from the main floor. We’re dedicating three rooms to role-playing games so the anguished screams of the vanquished and the joyous shouts of the victors will be less disturbing to the concentration of other dedicated gamers.
Hotel – If you want to stay late gaming or – shudder – start early, our room rates are still only $129, and you can book your room now. https://confabulous.org/wordpress/hotel/
Getting there/Parking – As a reminder, you can park for free whether you have a room at the hotel or not and can also get to the hotel via light rail (and a very short walk). You’ll be close to the Mall of America and the MSP airport.
Food – Once again in 2026 we will provide a selection of hot and cold foods catered by the hotel throughout the convention along with breakfasts, snacks and soda offerings from our ConSuite, including the Saturday Chocolate Symposium.
Games – You’ll have access to a large selection of board and card games, and players that are willing to take you on whether you’re a beginner or an expert. We also have a video gaming area, and three rooms for role-playing games. If you would like to request a game or would like to run a role-playing game contact us at gaming@ConFABulous.org
Panels – We will offer a selection of panels of general interest to the speculative fiction and LGTBQA community. Volunteer to be on panels and send us your panel ideas! It’s never too early at programming@ConFABulous.org
COVID/Masking – We are changing our mask policy for this year. Masks are NOT required, but are encouraged.
We hope to see you at the con on October 2-4, 2026.
P.S. If you would like to help spread the word about ConFABulous 2026, visit our Spread the Word page where you can download flyers you can print and give out – and thank you.
