Hey folks! Want a Dealers' Den table at Scotiacon 2025? This year we are allowing dealers to apply for a Dealers’ Den table ahead of registration opening and applications will work a little differently so please be sure to read the information below.

You'll need to agree to our Dealers' Den Terms & Conditions to apply, you can read those here: https://www.scotiacon.org.uk/policies/dealers-den-terms-and-conditions
We've also created a Portfolio Guide to help you make your application as strong as possible. You can read that here: https://static.scotiacon.org.uk/docs/2025-Portfolio-Guide.pdf

Scotiacon's 2025 Charity: Saving Wildcats
Hi friends! We're thrilled to announce that our 2025 charity will be Saving Wildcats! Dedicated to Scottish wildcat conservation, Saving Wildcats aims to prevent the extinction of wildcats in Scotland. You can find more info at https://scotiacon.org.uk/about/our-charity or read below for more and some pictures!
European wildcats came to Britain after the last Ice Age, 9,000 years ago. Once widespread, the species is now close to extinction in Scotland. Habitat loss, persecution, and breeding with domestic cats has forced the species to a point where the population is no longer viable.
Saving Wildcats aims to prevent the extinction of Scottish wildcats by breeding and releasing them into the wild. Their vision is to see wildcats restored to landscapes across Scotland, cherished by people for generations to come. We hope you'll join us to support them in 2025!

Registration Opens Monday at 8pm - What Happens Next?
Hi Folks! As you're hopefully aware, we will open Scotiacon: Magical Mayhem for registration at 8pm on Monday July 15th. We hope you're excited to take your first step on the magical journey that lies ahead!
Once you've submitted your registration, there will be a few steps in the process behind the scenes to get your registration approved and a request for payment sent to you. This means you won't receive a confirmation of whether you have a room or not on the opening night of registration. Here's what to expect!
Once you've registered, it will be about 5 days while we work through all the registrations and start assigning rooms before we send any confirmations out. We will keep you informed about how this is going through announcements on Telegram and our social media channels but you shouldn't expect to receive a confirmation email before July 20th at the very earliest.
We will send confirmation emails in waves so that we can stagger the process over several days. Again, we'll keep everyone aware of how this process is going, but based on previous years we anticipate that we will be sending confirmations covering registrations that were submitted on the first night until the end of August, so don't worry if you haven't heard from us before then!
Once you receive your confirmation email requesting payment, you will have seven days to pay your fees and complete your registration. Any registrations not paid within that window will be released back into the process and rooms may be lost to those on the waiting list, so please keep a close watch on your email and check your junk mail folder!
Once your payment is confirmed, that's it! You're fully registered for Scotiacon: Magical Mayhem and ready to dive into the enchantment filled adventure to come. We can't wait to see you in Glasgow next year!
Please remember that you can log into our registration system at https://reg.scotiacon.org.uk at any time to view the status of your registration and check if anything is waiting for you to action, regardless of whether or not you've received any email confirmation from us.
If you have any questions about registration in the meantime check out our website at https://www.scotiacon.org.uk and, if you can't find the information you need there, get in touch with our Registration team at registration@scotiacon.org.uk and they will be happy to assist you!
