Registering for a member account

    When you purchase a membership you will also register for a member account. This gives you access to our member resources and allows you to make changes to your membership information. 

Each individual member needs an account. This requires a separate contact email address for each account.

You may use what is known as subaddressing (name+tag@domain). A discussion of this approach can be found here.

Membership Levels

   Voters: If you voted in the Site Selection for the 2023 NASFiC at Chicon 8 you are automatically a supporting member.

   Supporting: You receive all publications of the convention. Supporting members are also entitled to vote in Site Selection for the 2024 NASFiC. You can upgrade to an attending membership by paying the difference between the attending rate at the time you upgrade minus the amount you paid for a supporting membership. All who voted in Site Selection for the 2023 NASFiC at Chicon 8 are supporting members of Pemmi-Con.

   Attending: In addition to the supporting membership benefits, this allows you to attend the convention in-person. 

   Young humans: We encourage young people to attend the convention, and are offering special rates for teens, children and kids 6 and under. Age is calculated on the first day of the convention: July 20, 2023.
