The forms are on their way through snail mail, so they may be a bit slow. Uncashed checks are also being mailed back. You should receive an email from us soon with details. Thank you for your patience in these unprecedented times.

Are you staying home, practicing social distancing, and feeling sad you can't be at Conbust this weekend? Good news! You can still explore art, writing, podcasts, webcomics, and more from all of the awesome artists, guests, panelists, and demonstrators we originally scheduled!

On a more serious note, convention cancellations can mean significant income loss for artists, vendors, guests, and panelists. If you are able to, please consider financially supporting those who were unable to attend Conbust this year, and checking out their work online.
We are beyond devastated to inform everyone that the dance is cancelled. Smith has asked students to leave campus, and continue classwork remotely for the rest of the semester. Thank you for your support and patience as we deal with logistics of the cancellation amid this news.

IMPORTANT UPDATE ON CONBUST 2020. We are deeply saddened to inform you that as of last night, Smith College has canceled every event expecting more than 50 people. This means that ConBust 2020 is canceled.
