Hey guys, Sasha here.
I wanted to hop on here and share some difficult news. Unfortunately, there will not be a TougeCon event this fall.
As you all know, we’re always striving to improve the event year after year to create the best experience possible for everyone. Over the past 18 months and hundreds of hours, we’ve been diligently working behind the scenes to lock down a new venue that really reflects the spirit of the event. We got 99% of the way there, but the goalposts for safety kept moving. Safety, in all aspects, is a line we won’t cross, and with that, we didn’t have full confidence in securing the location. Other locations were considered, but nothing could really handle the volume of attendees we were expecting this year. With that in mind, we didn’t want to compromise the quality of the experience you all deserve.
We know a ton of you plan your year around TougeCon — taking time off, traveling, looking forward to it all year. We’re right there with you. We’re just as disappointed.
So what comes next? We don’t really have an answer for that yet. We’re going to take some time to rest, restructure, and figure out the future of TougeCon.
On behalf of my self and the team we want to personally thank all of you for your years of support and enthusiasm for this event. What started as a tiny little idea has grown into a truly unique and incredible experience, and all of that was made possible by all of you.
Thank you all again
