The schedule of featured talks is now available on the RECON website.
These 14 talks will be available to all RECON attendees. Every talk except the panel is followed by a live Q&A with the speakers. It’s 2 full days of exciting content.
There are a few different t-shirt designs. And new this year, we’re offering sweatshirts and hats. If you order your RECON swag today, you can wear it at RECON.
RECON is the best place to reach an international audience of escape room professionals and players. It’s the perfect place to share your game, product, or service.
If you have a game that’s available for remote play, there are opportunities to host your game at RECON. This is a great way to showcase a new game, run a game for a large group, or just make your game more widely known.
If you have a product or service for industry professionals, the digital exhibit hall is the perfect play to showcase your product. You’ll have an opportunity to advertise what you offer, and even demo it for RECON attendees.
If you’re looking for even more exposure, you can sponsor RECON. Although the Platinum sponsorships are sold out, there are still a few Gold sponsorships available.
We are so excited about RECON. This year’s event is going to be something special. We really hope to see you there. Mark your calendar for August 22-23 and get your ticket today.
If you’re interested in a curated RECON experience, we highly recommend you purchase a VIP ticket today.
3: The Virtual Escape Jam will also sell out
More than half the tickets are already claimed. The Virtual Escape Jam sold out last year, and the waitlist just kept growing.
If you want to design a game, this is a great way to get started, or brush up on your skills – all experience levels welcome!
4: New in 2021: Workshops
The RECON Pro ticket includes a workshop, an active learning small-group session where you take part in the creative process. You can choose between Game Design, Storytelling, Creative Puzzles, and Hospitality.
These are a new feature at RECON that we’re super excited about!
5: Early Bird Won’t Last Forever
The RECON Play Pass is currently only $50. It includes access to at least 2 limited-run games, unique player meetup opportunities, and much more.
We’ll be announcing more details soon, and as soon as we do, the price will go up. If you love playing games and want games to be a part of your RECON experience, we encourage you to grab your Play Pass at the early bird rate. You can add it to any RECON ticket!
We are thrilled to announce that tickets are now available for RECON ’21 Global. The event will take place online August 22-23.
Reemergence
For the past year, in much of our community, escape rooms have been largely dormant. We see this summer as their rebirth, with RECON ’21 ushering in change. Together, we’ll cast aside old ways of thinking and embrace new ideas. We present a collection of featured talks guided by where we’re going, not where we’ve been.
We look forward to welcoming you to RECON ’21 Global.
Ticket Options
There are three types of tickets available:
RECON Basic
RECON Pro
RECON VIP
You can also enhance your ticket with the RECON Play Pass (now available at the early bird price) and the Virtual Escape Jam.
To learn more about each ticket option, visit the RECON website.
The programming team is putting together an outstanding lineup of featured talks from a global cast of speakers. You can see the featured talks we’ve already announced here, with many more to be announced soon.
We’re also bringing some of last year’s speakers back to host workshops for the RECON Pro ticket holders. These are a new interactive format for RECON.
Games
The games team is curating the RECON Play Pass, the best way to experience games as part of this event. We have a lot in the works with this one and more details will be available soon!
Plus, the popular Virtual Escape Jam will be back on Friday August 20 (before RECON officially begins). Last year’s Virtual Escape Jam sold out, so don’t delay in purchasing this ticket enhancement.
Sponsors & Exhibitors
In the past week, we’ve started signing sponsors and exhibitors. These are companies with products for industry professionals and players – and they offer some pretty neat stuff. If you have something to share with the RECON audience, let us know.
Given the continued uncertainty around group gatherings and global travel restrictions, we have decided to postpone the Boston event and go 100% digital again for 2021. RECON Global returns August 22-23, 2021!
Key Information
In 2021, we’re excited to bring back RECON Global, a 100% digital convention. It will take place August 22-23.
RECON Boston has been officially postponed to August of 2022.
All RECON Boston ticket holders, speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors are receiving emails with more information today.
Background
By hosting RECON digitally, we ensure the education, games, and opportunities core to RECON are more accessible to the many in our community who have endured incredible hardships this past year.
As a team, we feel that it is more important to confidently put together the best possible event for our community than it is for us to produce an in-person event. We’ve elected to remove the uncertainty for our ticket holders, vendors, sponsors, and ourselves.
With the 2021 digital event, and future in-person events, we can continue to build a resilient, global escape room industry together. Just as we did last year, we’ll continue to adapt as necessary. We’re committed to an incredible RECON ‘21 Global and RECON ‘22 Boston.
Tickets
Tickets to RECON ‘21 Global will be available soon. There will be a number of ticket options, including opportunities to watch our main stage talks for free.
