The JCCC has previously hosted plenty of other fan conventions, notably the Anime North Halloween Event and Pretty Heroes. Given their experience with convention hosting and gorgeous venue space, we think they’re the perfect fit.

So, why did this take so long?

Well… the JCCC wasn’t our first pick. Our first pick, who we won’t name, dropped us unexpectedly after months of negotiations. Why? Original DashCon’s reputation. We literally got DashCon’d before the convention had even started!!

While we were expecting this and had backup plans, we were blindsided by a rejection this late into the negotiation process. After reaching out to our other contacts, we settled on the JCCC, but we had to restart the entire process. So much of our planning had to be restarted or paused, which set us way behind schedule. Naturally, we didn’t want to say anything about losing our venue spot until we’d adequately replaced it.

We’re happy to say that the Classic DashCon Venue Struggle is over and done with - and our rental with the JCCC is paid in advance. No $17k hostage situation necessary.

However, all this provokes another obvious question: why did you go public with the project when you hadn’t signed with the venue yet? In short: Strange Aeons’ DashCon: An Extensive Oral History video. We were already knee-deep in the project behind the scenes before finding out she was making a YouTube video about DashCon, pushing the story into the public eye again. The team was concerned that declaring we were organizing DashCon 2 soon after Strange Aeons’ video would imply it was a rush-job inspired by her video. We were far enough along in the initial venue negotiations that we decided to go public with the video rather than after it.

Date & Time

DashCon 2 will be held for one day: Saturday, 5th July 2025. We alluded to using the same weekend as the original DashCon when we first went public, but unfortunately this date wasn’t available at our venue. This does mean it’s pretty close to the American 4th of July - in our defense, we didn’t really think of that, we’re Canadian.

The convention will open to the public at 9:30 AM and close at 9:30 PM. All this information and more will be available on our website.

(These hours may be subject to minor changes, please always check our website for our most recent info!)

Admission

Ticket sales to in-person DashCon 2 will open on Feb 22nd! Mark your calendars…

We’ll be processing ticket sales through Simpli Events, an all-Canadian competitor to Eventbrite. You can click here to find the events page.

We’re working on the feasibility of expanding DashCon 2 into a hybrid event, with live-streams of the most anticipated panels/events and some other informal online panels hosted on a private Discord. More information on those will come at a later date.

Vendor and Panel Applications

DashCon 2’s Artist Alley/Vendor's Hall is a space for independent artisans who create print media, handmade crafts, or other merchandise. If you want the opportunity to sell your merchandise at DashCon 2, then you’ll be excited to learn that vendor applications will open on February 1st!

Please see www.dashcontwo.com/dealers-hall/ for more details about tables, prices, and merchandise. The link to the application form will be posted there.

We’re also happy to say that we’re opening panel applications on February 10th! We have a few guest panellists already lined up (including a few we can’t talk about yet), but we’re excited to open applications to everyone with a good idea! All DashCon 2 panels will be moderated by our volunteer team, and we’ll put out more info soon about volunteer sign-ups!

clown mascots… hype!!!!! !!!

Introducing Val O'Hara of the Cirque du Dash

While we continue to work on some upcoming announcements behind the scenes, we'd like to add a little colour to the DashCon 2 universe! Some of you may have heard of their ringleader, but we're happy to introduce you to more of our mascots, the Cirque du Dash! (We’re Canadians, we have to throw in a little French once in a while.)

Given the ball pit and the chaotic nature of “DashCon 2” as an idea, we thought we’d theme the convention aesthetics around a circus. We want DashCon 2 to have some of its own personality - riding exclusively on the legacy of DashCon just won’t do. We'll be announcing the last two blorbos throughout the month, along with some more content that'll really let you get to know them better! As always, all art is by @paintbrushinacoffeecup

In the meantime, can we offer you a personality quiz to tell you which clown you're most like! Find that right here.

So, without further ado, here is Cirque du Dash’s very own strongwoman: Val O'Hara!

[ALT TEXT] An Image of a circus strongwoman dressed in yellow with a giant hammer. She stands on a blue background next to the following text: Val O’Hara is a mixed Killer and Carnival Clown, taking on traits of both with her outspoken personality and questionable use of the hammer! She’s energetic, intelligent, and wanted in 32 U.S. states. Due to The Incident, her troupe has taken up residence here in the GTA for the foreseeable future. Despite widespread misinformation about Killer Clowns, she’s actually very compassionate to people who don’t work at Papa John’s.

Likes: Ed Sheeran, Women’s Wrestling, reading at small local-owned cafes, women, Scalopini moles

Dislikes: Fantasy, Ohio, Papa John’s (ENEMY)
