BOOK SWAP!
Rated: Everyone
ALL-CON and some of our literary content partners spent the latter part of 2024 collecting gently used current / modern titles, in preparation for our first year of what we envision to be an annual Book Swap feature! For the most part we are looking for a 1:1 swap or 2:1 swap (in your favor) for popular or appropriate titles. We will also have a selection of books where if you didn't bring one to trade you can choose from the stack. Likewise, if you have some books gathering dust and taking up shelf (or box!) space that could go to good and loving homes we are also accepting book donations. If you have some time at the convention and are looking for a little bit of quiet, the Book Swap room (Pecan) is also designated to be a quiet / reading room. Sometimes your choice of ''over 300 events'' is to settle in with a good book and enjoy some peace reading at a convention.

How My Art Saved My Sanity!
Rated: Everyone
Produced By: Achievement Through the Arts (ATTA)
A short presentation followed by an open discussion with audience members. One of the issues for neurodivergent people is that we often feel things very deeply but aren't able to express it in words. Sometimes you can't find the words, other times it seems like too much effort, and this can result in isolation and even depression. But art is a good way to get those feelings out into the open! Maybe you can't talk about it, but you can make a picture or a sculpture! Creativity and art are not limited to fine arts. Con goers are a creative community, designing costumes and writing fan fiction, as well as developing games and crafting products for sale. Many of us are also neurodivergent. ATTA will share several stories from members about how our art impacts our mental health, followed by feedback and questions from the audience.

Miniature Golf
Rated: Everyone
Hole-in-One Miniature Golf, every day at ALL-CON.
When researching indoor golf courses, we learned about two different philosophies: ''Pro Putter'' (complexity of layout) and ''Obstacle'' (complexity of ornamentation). We designed a hybrid with a little bit of each.
Each of the ten-plus holes is built on a sixteen foot long green, some with an additional eight foot dogleg which just means they aren't just a single straight green.
In addition to the miniature golf course there also is a ''Pool Golf'' game. It's the same rules as shooting pool but with putters and golf balls. Three ball in the corner pocket!
What better way to practice social distancing with your friends than to spread out on our indoor mini golf course, located right in the spacious new convention space at the Hilton Lincoln Centre! You don't even have to leave the convention. Catch a round or two in between panels or to relax before the Cosplay competition.
Putters and balls will be disinfected in between players.
Try it out! Miniature Golf is now one of our new feature events. It's just one more way we continue to make ALL-CON ''Your Favorite Con.''
