When and where is it?

Arcanacon XXVI will be held at Collingwood College, Hoddle St, not quite opposite the Collingwood Town Hall (Melways 2C, G9). It is close to Collingwood Station and Johnston St, and effectively on Hoddle St.

In 2007, the convention begins on the 25th of January and runs for 4 days.

Festivities begin at 2pm on the Friday and continue until prizegiving at 7.30pm on the Monday, in the process cramming in 13 sessions of roleplaying, wargames, boardgames and more.

Convention Timetable

The first session starts at 4pm on Friday. From then onwards, tournaments are run in 2.5 hour sessions, each in a 3 hour block. Friday has two sessions, commencing at 4pm and 8pm. The following three days have sessions at 9am, 1pm, 4pm and 8pm, with the final session Sunday being devoted to the prizegiving.

The convention doors open at 8:30 am on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Cashing in on the long summer day, we're giving you an hour for lunch and an hour for tea, and then taking advantage of balmy nighttime to run the convention until 11pm.

Arcanacon closes on Monday evening with the Awards Ceremony, closely followed by the Post Con Do.
