For Organizers & Con Teams
You have the idea. We bring the framework.
Many cons don't fail because of the idea — they fail on liability, contracts, insurance, and upfront costs. We act as your non-profit legal sponsor, advising you from concept to final accounting — and answering all your questions.
What we take on
Legal sponsorshipWe're the legal organizer of record: contracts, liability insurance, music licensing, youth protection, permits. You stay in charge of the content.
ConsultingBudgeting, ticket pricing, awareness concept, timeline, registration system. We go through your concept and tell you where it breaks.
NetworkIf needed, we connect you with helpers from our network and are sometimes on site ourselves too.
FinancesBank account, bookkeeping, upfront payment for venue and materials. You don't have to front the money yourselves.
Grants & fundingAs a registered non-profit (gUG), we can apply for grants that stay closed to an informal group of organizers — including the required usage reports.
ReachWe promote your event through our website, social media, and newsletter — for more visibility.
How a collaboration works
01
First conversationYou tell us what you're planning. We tell you honestly whether we're a fit — and whether the idea is workable in that form.
no obligation, 1 hour02
Concept & budgetTogether, over two to three sessions: schedule, headcount, budget, risks. You end up with a document you can use to inquire about venues.
4–8 weeks03
Sponsorship agreementWritten down: who decides what, and who carries which risk. Content stays yours — legal and financial responsibility is ours.
one meeting04
ExecutionWe support you with topics like registration, venue rental, and more. Sometimes we can also be on site ourselves, or bring in helpers from our network for you. Either way, we'll promote your event through our website, social media, and newsletter.
until the con05
Accounting & reviewOpen books, usage report, a debrief with the team. Any surplus goes into the free-ticket fund, our operations, or your next con.
6 weeks afterA good fit when …
✓you have a worked-out idea but no association behind you
✓the con is open to the public
✓you take awareness and safety seriously
✓you have roughly six months (give or take a few weeks) until the event
Probably not a fit when …
✕the con is purely commercial
✕you're just looking for a billing address
✕the content is discriminatory or exclusionary
✕the date is less than three months away
