Season close
Live Session I and the Main Event are Thursday Oct 15, 2026 · 18:00 UTC. Both online. The working rundown is on /talk. Subjects are not locked in advance. The rundown is decided and finalized the day of the stream.
First 80 BidCon event seats free
BidCon is Thursday Oct 15, 2026 · 18:00 UTC, online. The first 80 people on the event roster pay nothing. After that it is $1.99 on card. This is the founding list: session reminders, the stream URL when it lands, and the brief when there is signal. Not a ticket. Not a door charge. Not one of the 30 homepage chairs.
What you get
On the Oct 15 list. A note when the rundown locks. The live embed on this page the week of. Briefs only when there is tape.
What this is not
Not a chair. Chairs are timed ads on the homepage, from $49, claimed separately. Not a season sponsor seat. Those inquire on /sponsors.
