For your convenience, the Meet & Greet schedule will be incorporated into the wider schedule, coming out later this month.

We ask that you respect the boundaries of the Meet & Greet. The special guests are ordinary attendees of the convention, just like you. Please do not stop them in the hallway and ask them to sign anything—they’ll need their energy to give you the best Meet & Greet and/or panel experience possible. Thank you!

That said, during the Meet & Greet, asking for signatures is totally fine.

Strange Aeons is Selling Merch!!

Want in on her House of Strange collection but don’t want to pay US-oriented prices? Strange Aeons will be selling stickers and prints from her new merch line at her Meet and Greet table!

Please note that she will only accept payment in Canadian cash. The catalogue will be displayed on a sign outside the meet and greet line—please decide what you want to purchase before your turn and have your cash already in hand. (We want to reduce friction and purchase time as much as possible, so everyone can have a turn!)

Don’t have anything to get signed?

“SuperWhoLock Wedding Invitation” and “Ball Pit Revolution Flag” postcards

The "Revolution, Baby!" 2026 collection.

Hi all,

Merch is here!!

Let’s get right into it.

Merch photos. Tell me I look hot. Don't tell Avis they look hot, they already know. Have you seen them with that sword?? They're too powerful already.

I promised a secret enamel pin.

We wanted to create a custom revolution-themed DashCon 2 pin as a token of the 2026 convention, but we wanted it to be a surprise for the in-person audience. However, we’re an accessible convention first and foremost, so having IRL-exclusive merch items didn’t sit right with us. So we’ve settled on this:

The enamel pin’s design is a secret until the convention! IRL folks get to see what it looks like first. The at-home audience will have two weeks post-con to buy it if the want, after seeing the design. However if you’re feeling spicy, you can pre-order it without seeing it—as a reward for committing that hard, you can have it at a discount.

The shop will open sometime later this month!

Succumb to your gacha game brainrot. You know you want to. It’s not like they’re on sale or anything…

Hi all,

To start off this email I want to say how grateful I am for your patience in all of this. Merch shipment has been delayed much more than I wanted it to be, and I’m very thankful to say that things have finally made some progress. Here’s a little update for you on what’s been going on.

Before we start: VODs!

I know some of you clicked in here because you didn’t order merch but want to know when you’re getting VOD access. My best answer is before September. Initially we wanted to remain committed to our accessibility mandate and offer closed captioning of all the videos upon release, but oh my god that takes so much time. The goal now is to release all the videos unlisted to our YouTube channel with or without captioning by the end of the month and update captions as soon as they are available. We will indicate whether or not CCs are available in the video titles.

Tracking Numbers

So far we’ve mailed out a few hundred orders, and more have been packed but not yet stamped. Some of you may have already received your orders. Tracking numbers are a little finicky with our shipping provider, but we hope to have those rolled out by the end of this week.

If your order contains only some combination of buttons and/or stickers, then we opted to use Canada Post (see explanation below under tariffs) which does not offer tracking services. You should receive your order via a standard envelope in ~1 week within Canada, 2-3 weeks USA, and 3-4 weeks internationally. If you do not receive your order within this standard time frame after this email was sent, please email us at [email protected].

Address Changes

We are capable of changing addresses for shipping labels right up until they are printed. There may be an extra cost leveed if you move farther away from Canada; i.e. Canada —> USA, USA —> EU, or EU —> international non-EU. We will work out a solution via email; message us at [email protected].

Timeline

We want all of our orders shipped before Sept 1st, so that is the timeline we can promise. In future our estimates should be a lot more accurate, and we sincerely apologize for the delays. Currently, we are still waiting on a fresh batch of shoelaces to finish production (the turn around time is 4 weeks!) and anticipate a lot of orders being processed this weekend, so if you have any changes that need to be made to your order, make them before Saturday Aug 9!

Refunds

We completely understand being unsatisfied with our production given the heavy delays. If you would like to refund your order, please message [email protected] with your order number. We will refund the merchandise as well as the shipping cost.

Refunds can be processed right up until a shipping label is printed (and therefore paid for). If we cannot process a refund but you are still unsatisfied, we can work something out via email. We sincerely appreciate your patience with us :)

Tariffs

You may know already, but Trump has recently upped tariffs on non-CUSMA Canadian goods from 25% to 35% and, more importantly, has issued an executive order dismantling the De Minimus exemption. All DashCon 2 merchandise qualifies for tariff exemption under CUSMA and is well under the de minimus threshold, but given the United State’s current relationship to law, the DashCon 2 team has chosen to err on the side of caution.

As such, we are working hard to have everything shipped before the De Minimus exemption ends on August 29th. However, we expect most items to ship out weeks before that. Additonally, in order to be as secure as possible, we have opted to use Canada Post lettermail whenever we can. Lettermail is small and (fiscally) insignificant enough that it should arrive at its destination without incident.

Lexicon CUSMA: Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement. Renegotiated free trade agreement that replaced NAFTA. Called USMCA in America. De Minimus Exemption: imported goods valued under $800 USD are exempt from duties. Limited to one package per person per day.

Thank you for continuing to support and believe in us. We couldn’t do this without you.

One more thing. DashCon 3?
