For folks attending this year’s convention in person, there are rooms set aside in the con hotel, the Future Inn Cardiff Bay. These are available at a special convention rate on a first-come, first-served basis. Breakfast is included in the rate.

To book one of these rooms, contact the hotel's reservations team. You can do this by calling 029 20487 111 and following the menu options to be put through to room reservations, or by emailing the team at reservations.cardiff@futureinns.co.uk. You will need to mention that you are attending VidUKon and would like to book one of the rooms in our block, citing the block code 518990. Payment will be taken on the con weekend.

These rooms will be held for us until Monday 10 April, so make sure you book before then!

Rates are as follows:

Friday - £89 single or £102 twin/double

Saturday - £137 single or £151 twin/double

Sunday - £79 single or £93 twin/double

Every room is wheelchair accessible and can sleep up to four people over two double beds. If you’d like to book a room for more than two people, check prices with the hotel as there is an additional charge per person.

Please note that Coldplay will be playing in Cardiff a couple of days before the con, so hotel rooms outside the con block may be scarce and/or expensive, especially if you plan to arrive before the con begins.

If you’re interested in staying at the hotel but would like to find someone to share a room with, comment on this post or take a look to see who has already commented!

Signups are now open for this year’s group vidding workshop!

The group vidding workshop is just what it sounds like - a chance to work in a group to make (part of) a vid. Each small group (about 3-5 people) gets a section of a song to vid, as well as a selection of sources to use, and at the end all of the sections are stitched together to make a miraculous Frankenvid.

The workshop is suitable for everyone from experienced vidders to complete newbies, and in fact being on a team with more practised editors is a great way to get a taste of making a vid if you’ve been thinking about giving it a try! Folks seeking a challenge can offer to be the designated vidder for a team - that is, being the person who actually puts clips on the timeline to bring everyone’s vision together.

The workshop is scheduled over a few hours on the Saturday afternoon of the con. When you sign up, you can select which timezones you can work in, and you will be put in a team accordingly.

Once you’ve registered for the con, you can sign up for the workshop in one of two ways:

If you’d like to be randomly placed in a team, navigate to the workshop in the schedule on Conline, click on it, fill in your availability, select whether or not you’re prepared to be a designated vidder, and then click “I’ll be there!”
If you’d like to form your own team with friends who are also attending, email the concom (vidukon@gmail.com) to let us know. You can choose whether you’d like your team to be open to additional members.

Whatever you choose, please do your best to sign up before Friday 4 June, to give us plenty of time to get teams in order before the con. No new teams will be formed after this date, so anyone signing up will be added to an existing team.

Less than three weeks to go - see you all there! 🎉

Thank you for voting in the poll posted up recently - for those who haven't seen it or had a chance to vote yet, you can find it here; if you find you can't vote in the poll, feel free to drop a comment in the post, signed or unsigned.

So far, roughly two-thirds of those who've voted are either potentially available on any of the dates listed or have expressed a preference for either one particular weekend in April or for a range of dates in June and July.

As the weekends in June and July are later than the dates we've run events on previously, we're doing some work in the background to check details like whether either the conference room charges or accommodation charges are higher at that time of year (it's into the summer holiday season) and which dates if any would clash with major conventions here in the UK before any final announcements are made. Hopefully, there should be another update soon with more information - until then, please keep encouraging people to vote and spreading the word.

Vidukon, 30 May to 1 June 2025, (Bristol & Online)
