Registration is now open for VidUKon 2025! Join us 30 May to 1 June for vidshows, panels and socialising.
More details over the next few days, but tldr: in-person attendance this year is £50, (£56 with add-ons); virtual attendance is £20 (£26 with add-ons). (See more details about add-ons here.)
If you’ve attended in the past, you might have noticed that virtual attendance (website and Discord) costs about the same as last year while in-person attendance is significantly less expensive. This is because we will not have catering at the in-person con in 2025 as our new location in Bristol is near a lot of food options.
Register at the VidUKon website.
Sponsorship tier
You may have spotted there's a new tier to sponsor an additional attendee. The purpose of this tier is twofold: contributing to our scholarship fund or sponsoring a friend.
VidUKon has a small pot built up, so a couple of fee waivers are possible for those who would like to attend the con but who are unable to afford the membership cost. If you'd like to contribute to this fund, you can do so through this tier. If you'd like to attend the con but are unable to afford the membership cost, please get in touch with us at vidukon@gmail.com to find out more about this. (You do not need to disclose anything about your personal circumstances in order to qualify).
Equally, if folks would like to pay registration for friends, they can do so using this tier. Just flag it to the con email so that we can double-check details and register the extra attendees.
Electronic travel authorisation
Lastly, please be aware that attendees travelling into the UK (who are not British or Irish citizens) will need to apply for electronic travel authorisation beforehand. This is a new requirement and applies to travellers who likely did not need any prior authorisation to enter the UK before 2025. If you needed a visa for previous visits, you likely still do.
