Escapade has a Welcommittee!
What's a welcommittee, you ask? It's the fannish version of a Welcome Wagon, helping you feel at home in a new place, answering questions, holding your hand, pretty much anything you need to make your Escapade experience as good as it can be.
Raine Wynd, a long time Escapade friend and attendee is our Welcommittee contact. You can ask her questions before the convention at welcomeescapadecon.net or find her in the con suite during the convention.
Embassy Suites LAX North
The Embassy Suites LAX North is an amenity-filled oasis in the desert of airport row. Over 27 years, we've hosted Escapade in hotels that were too small. We have hosted it in "convention hotels" that were much too large. While the convention has always worked, those hotels did make us feel a bit lost.
The Embassy Suites LAX North feels juuuust right.
Hotel information—reservation info, the vast array of amenities it offers guests, how and when you can book your room, and a contact email and phone number—is located on the location page.

Retweeted by Allison Moon 🌙Know a Fan Who Needs Assistance to Attend Escapade?
For many years, Escapade has maintained a scholarship program funded by generous attendee contributions and the con committee. It has assisted dozens of attendees who might not otherwise have been able to attend Escapade, from old-time fans who faced changes in their financial status to first-time fans who knew fandom only through the web
Read What Fans Have to Say About Escapade
Escapade will always be one of my spiritual homes in fandom… The roots of the OTW and AO3 are there, in the community that wide-open welcomed any fan to propose a panel, to make a vid…that made it seem not only doable but sensible to just dive in and make the kind of spaces that we wanted in the world.
