When and Where

Arcanacon XXVIII 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.

The con starts on the 20th of January and runs for 4 days. Please note neither the Thursday nor the Friday is a public holiday - nonetheless we hope people can make time to come along to the Con.

Festivities begin at 1pm on the Thursday and continue until prizegiving at 7.30pm on the Sunday, in the process cramming in 13 sessions of roleplaying, wargames, boardgames and more.

Convention Timetable

Registration starts from 1pm Thursday, and the first roleplaying sessions are from 4pm Thursday From then onwards, tournaments are run in 2.5 hour sessions, each in a 3 hour block. Thursday has sessions at 4pm and 8pm. Friday and Saturday each have sessions at 9am, 1pm, 4pm and 8pm, and Sunday has sessions at 9am, 1pm and 4pm, and prizegiving from 7:30pm onward.

The convention doors open at 1pm on Thursday and 8:30 am each other day. 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 Sunday evening with the Awards Ceremony, closely followed by the Post Con Do.
