The vote was a tough one this year. We had the honor of interviewing a handful of solid, well-qualified candidates, and we want to thank each of them for their time, effort, and passion. After much discussion, we have reached a decision.

The Penguicon Board of Directors is thrilled to introduce our 2026 ConChair: Heather Williams!

Heather comes to us with a wealth of event organization experience, a love of Penguicon past and present, and a strong vision for the future. There will be plenty of ways in the days to come to get to know Heather and, and your first opportunity is nearly here!

Join us at Beer with the Board on July 25 and meet Heather and some of our Board members, chat, reminisce, and find out how you can be a part of making 2026 the most epic year yet.

Congratulations, Heather! We can’t wait to watch your vision come to life.
