Well folks, we held out hope for as long as we could but we must face reality. It is with great disappointment that we announce that Archon 44 has been postponed until October 2021. The safety of our attendees is our primary concern and therefore, we have made our decision in the best interest of you, our faithful fans.

Current group size restrictions in Illinois, increasing COVID-19 cases in the St. Louis metropolitan area, and the general unease of folks to be in large gatherings means our decision is the correct one. I want to thank our partners, the Gateway Center and Doubletree Hotel – Collinsville for working with us and allowing us to postpone the convention for a year without any financial penalties. We are very lucky to have two facilities who understand us, work with us every year, and share our joy in creating a fantastic event for everyone.

I also want to thank the committee and staff who worked through various scenarios to see what options we may have had if we attempted to hold Archon this year. Unfortunately, social distancing and Archon don’t work well together. We tried but it wasn’t meant to be.

We have prepared a list of questions and answers to hopefully give you the information you need regarding membership rollovers/refunds, hotel room cancellations, and other items.

Please watch this website, our Twitter feed (@archonstl) and our Facebook page (facebook.com/archonstl/) for updates and any other news. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact info@archonstl.org. Thank you for your understanding and patience. We hope to see you on October 1, 2021.
