Programming

PortConMaine is a convention that is for fans, by fans in an effort to celebrate the hobbies and interests we all share. If you would like to see specific programming please consider staffing or signing up to run an event during the weekend. Not only does it get you in for free, but it helps us represent what the community wants to see at the convention.

Panel Applications for 2025 open February 9th – March 22nd!

As an panelist at PortConMaine you will receive one free 4-day in person pass for the weekend! Only one pass will be given per event, regardless of the amount of panelists/event staff. You must be 18 years or older to run a panel/event at PortCon. If you have already registered for PortConMaine you will be refunded your badge costs.

Contests:

• Art Contest
• Newbury Costume Contest
• Past Winners

Convention Hours:

We run the convention Thursday through Sunday.

Registration for the convention begins a half hour before events begin each day. Events will not open until the convention officially starts, but the half hour early allows for people to get in exactly for when events begin.

If an event is cancelled we will do our best to mark the schedule, communicate the cancellation. We apologize for event cancellations and will continue to do our best at gathering guests and panelists that will not cancel unless absolutely necessary. Thank you for your understanding.
