The Radio Room – Room 4121
Welcome back, dear listeners — we are happy to be meeting you for the first time.
You are invited to step inside a room where the music is good, the lighting may be suspiciously atmospheric, and the vibes have been carefully engineered through trial, error, and several previous incarnations that may or may not have actually happened.
Inside you will find karaoke, beverages, and a temporary refuge from the ordinary conventions of reality — though still located conveniently within the Hyatt and compliant with local fire codes, which we respect deeply and without irony. Come by. Stay awhile.
The door will be open.
And if you feel like you’ve been here before … well …
Welcome back.

Wrap yourself in an afghan, sink into a corduroy bean bag, and settle in. The kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile and tell stories with strangers who feel like old friends.
Start your morning with a bowl of cereal and a strong cup of coffee—or ease into the day with a Bloody Mary. While you indulge, take some time to complete the scavenger hunt and get your name on the high score board. You might even win a prize! Or just enjoy one of the flicks running all day.

Party Etiquette
Take advantage of these scientifically-proven tips from Professor Max Misfittle to get the most out of your CONvergence Party experience!
- It’s polite to leave a donation if you eat or drink anything at a party. Arm yourself with a stack of $1 bills to tip your generous party hosts!
- Say Hello to everyone in the room! Parties are about meeting people and socializing, so don’t be shy! Whether you’re hopping from room to room or camped in one party for the night, a friendly greeting is often the start of a great conversation!
- Help keep the party area clean! If you see some trash on the floor or abandoned on a table, do the party hosts and the convention a favor by picking it up.
- Be mindful of traffic. CONvergence parties can get very busy, so try not to crowd the doors or impede traffic in the hallways. If someone asks for your photo, try to step out of the busy traffic area to take it!
- Drinking is a privilege not a right. Choosing to serve or not on the basis of presentation of sobriety, general behavior, or DWI flags is completely within the rights of party rooms. Don’t over intoxicate!
- Always be respectful. Whether at a party or throughout the rest of the convention, always be respectful of others. Remember that costumes are not consent for touching, grabbing, or harassment. For more information, please see the CONvergence Harassment Policy.
- Thank the party hosts! CONvergence party hosts put countless hours and resources into throwing an awesome party at CONvergence! If you enjoy their party, make sure to thank them for their efforts!
