Why Early Bird?
Early Bird badges are the best value for KantCon. In addition to discounted pricing, Early Bird packages include exclusive perks and merch at a discount—perfect for longtime fans and first-timers alike.
We offer multiple Early Bird package options, so whether you’re looking for just a badge or want extra gear and goodies to commemorate the weekend, there’s a tier for you. Early Bird badges are available for a limited time and always sell quickly, so don’t wait!
Game It Forward
Our Game It Forward program will return in 2026, helping more people experience KantCon who might not otherwise be able to attend. When you purchase a badge for this program, you’re also helping us grow a more welcoming and inclusive gaming community. Once sales start on February 1st, you'll see this available beside other badge options.
If you would like to benefit from our generous donors, check out this page for more details on how to receive a Game It Forward badge: https://www.kantcon.com/game-it-forward
New Discord Community Feature
We’ve added new forum channels to our Discord server to highlight:
Regional gaming conventions
Local game stores
Local gaming groups
The goal is to make our Discord a year-round community hub, not just a place for KantCon announcements. We’d love for you to check it out, discover new events or stores, and contribute your own local knowledge.
