Welcome to the Norwescon Documentation Wiki!

This space is a repository for documenting the internal processes and procedures for the various departments within the Norwescon Convention Committee (ConCom). These are in addition to those available on the Policies and Guidelines page of the main Norwescon website.

Though this is a publicly viewable wiki, editing privileges are restricted to ConCom members. If you are a current ConCom member and would like to contribute to this wiki, please email wiki@norwescon.org to request access. Due to its public nature, no confidential or privileged information should be recorded here.

Norwescon 43 Help & FAQ

As Norwescon 43 (2021) is an all virtual convention, many of our processes and systems have been adjusted for both staff and the attending membership to account for the shift. Norwescon 43 specific help pages are available from the Norwescon 43 Help landing page.

Or, go directly to the Norwescon_43_FAQ.

Organization

Norwescon is an all-volunteer organization. The overall structure is as follows:

1. The Executive Team: An eleven-member board leading the ConCom.
2. The Convention Committee (ConCom): Around 250 volunteers who put in time throughout the year and at the convention to plan, organize, set up, run, and break down the convention each year.
3. Volunteers: Members who volunteer at the convention itself to assist over the course of the convention weekend.
4. Members: Everyone who has paid for or been awarded a membership, regardless of whether they volunteer for or attend the convention.
