Modacon is a planned trade event to be held next summer at a currently undecided venue. Modacon aims to create an E3-like experience for mod teams and presents an opportunity for professionals to get in touch with their future employees. Modacon will be held for one day during the summer of 2010 at a convention center in a major US city. The location will be decided by our planning committee after we have made contact with enough mod teams and processed their input.

For Mod Teams
Modacon needs your support. Without donations and booth payments, we will not be able to rent out a convention center or print media for the event. This message is an invitation for your group to host a booth on the floor to show off your mod. We ask that you contact us to pre-register and have an influence on the event planning. We want to be able to host as many mods as possible and to do that we need to know when and where you can be next summer. By hosting a booth at Modacon, your mod will be exposed to hundreds of guests who, at your discretion, will be able to play your mod during the event. If you do plan on hosting a booth, you should be prepared to provide your own gaming rig.

For Middleware Providers
Modacon needs your sponsorship. As a middleware or content creation tool developer, you provide invaluable resources to modders throughout the community. Without your easily accessible products, good mods would be hard to come by. We ask that you purchase a booth to support the event and advertise your product. Middleware booth operators will be advertised in our media before, during, and after the event and will also be recognized during our opening and closing presentations. As with mod teams, we ask that you be prepared to provide a system on which your product can be tested by event guests.

For Game Studios
Without your games, there would be nothing to mod. The Modacon planning committee would be delighted to have a representative from your comapny present at the event. Game studios that send a representative or provide financial support for the event will be recognized in our media. In addition, most modders strive to become professional game developers. As booth registrations fill up, Modacon will be packed with potential hires.

For Modding Communities
As a community or forum for mod development, you provide an invaluable resource to modders by allowing them to get together and create great things. Whether you're looking for new members or want a physical meeting ground for your current ones, a booth at Modacon presents an opportunity to expand and meet. Modding communities that host booths at Modacon will be recognized during our opening and closing presentations and can advertise their forum on our web site before the event and in our media during the event. You may bring a computer system if you wish.

For VIP Guests
While not a large group like those listed above, your presence at Modacon would be greatly appreciated. You have been recognized by our committee for the contributions you have made to modding. As such, if you choose to come, you will be recognized during our opening and closing presentation (unless you ask not to be recognized).

For Event Guests
Modacon is an opportunity to see the next big thing in modding and play through mods for multiple games. As the event draws to a close, we will be hosting a massive LAN party on the convention floor with tournaments in the top mods. Event registration will cost money, but you are investing in the future of Modacon and without your contribution we would not be able to host the event. If you wish to bring a gaming laptop for the LAN party, please feel free, however, event guests are asked not to bring desktops to the event.
