For the one-day, open-gaming version of OwlCon in 2025, badges are not being purchased.

  1. You will find the latest info on how to get your badge on Badge Purchase
  2. You don't really need to earn a badge this year; updates on volunteering will be posted on Badge Purchase

For the one-day, open-gaming version of OwlCon in 2025, there are no scheduled events and thus no formal event signup.

If this is your first time with us, you might find the following information helpful.

Attending OwlCon

At OwlCon, we welcome spectators, but to participate in events you will need to register and then signup for events via this site. The only time you need to visit our Registration desk is to pick up your badge and shirt. All information specific to you can be found on your My Convention page.

Registering for OwlCon

Registering to be an Attendee involves 1) creating an account on owlcon.com and 2) purchasing or earning a Badge.

Earning a Badge for OwlCon

OwlCon is executed by volunteers. You can earn a badge (and t-shirt) for OwlCon by joining our volunteer ranks. For more information, please see our Volunteer page.

Purchasing a Badge at OwlCon

Because OwlCon is run via a student organization at Rice, our badge purchase process is handled via the Rice Marketplace. Once you purchase a badge there, we will have to process that purchase and assign the appropriate badge to your account on owlcon.com. We correlate your purchase to your account via the email address you provide for your owlcon.com account; please be sure to accurately provide it when you make your purchase.

Signing Up for Events

To sign up for Events at OwlCon, the following needs to be true.

  • Registration is open
  • You are logged in
  • You have a badge assigned to you

If all of these are true, you will then be able to sign up for sessions of events.
