Are you considering attending TIC2, but are feeling nervous?
We’d like to help, so here are some common concerns:
1) I don’t want to be on voice or video
You don’t need to be! Voice and video are off for panels for participants and only on for games. You choose what you do

2) I don’t like using Zoom
Good news! As long as there isn’t an Armageddon with our platform, you shouldn’t need to use Zoom! Everything will be in your browser. Our platform, Accelevents, has made a handy “what’s it like” vid here:

3) I’m worried I won’t know anyone
We’ll have text chat available during all of our sessions and chat rooms, where you can opt to use text, voice or video as you wish, available throughout. There’s evening games, too, which are a great opportunity to meet new people!

4) I really don’t want to get to know anyone!
That’s OK, too! All panels (with the exception of interactive sessions) will be recorded, so you can watch at your leisure and without interaction. You don’t have to have chats open if you want to watch live, either.

5) Will any of the sessions be subtitled?
All special guest sessions ( https://theineffablecon.org.uk/guests.php ) will be subtitled and other panels will be transcribed on a volunteer basis. Get in touch if you’d like to help!

7) I won’t know for sure if I can come until...
You can book tickets up to TIC2 itself-in fact, you can book tickets DURING the Con, if you need to! Sessions will be available for members for 30 days after the convention (ticket sales close when the convention ends, though!)

Any other worries, we are genuinely here to help. One of us is new to fandom, the other a fandom stalwart, so we understand and can support any concerns you have.
So...is it temptation accomplished?

8) I want to use a name of my choice...
You can do that! You can choose the information you use in “ticket buyer” and you can change it before and during TIC2. Something is required in the “surname” field, so use “*”, or add your pronouns, if you want a workaround!
