18 weeks left to go, just over four months, and it will time to open the Chicago Steampunk Exposition!
A lot is happening behind the scenes with building the program and setting up ticket sales for one day passes, high teas, and the other banquets that the Exposition has to offer. We are also working in collaboration with our exhibitors on an exciting promotion in which those who purchase tickets in advance are automatically entered into a fortnightly drawing to win prizes! More details coming before the end of May 2019.
Exposition Exhibitors
This week we have continued to feature some of our amazing vendors, authors, and artists whom you will find in the Exhibitor Hall and Artist Alley, which is poised to be perhaps the BIGGEST collection of exhibitors at a Midwest Steampunk event!
