FuMPFest

Why put the convention on hiatus?

The convention has lost money each year and while some years were worse than others it was usually sustainable. That is, until COVID hit. After COVID the hotel we used completely gouged us, so much so that there was no event in 2022 because we were still paying off 2021.

Combining FuMPFest with Con on the Cob in 2023 and 2024 allowed us to do the convention at a reduced cost, however, this added some other logistical issues. As much as we all love Con on the Cob, we knew going into it that this wasn't a long term solution. After two years of being with the wonderful people at Con on the Cob we felt it was time to take a step back, regroup, and figure out how we can do this convention properly and make it sustainable.

Will the convention be back?

We certainly hope so! But we can't make any promises. We have several options we are looking to pursue, but at this point we don't know if any of them will work out.

So what's the plan?

We don't have a detailed plan yet, but we would like to move the convention to the east coast, specifically northern New Jersey to make it easier for Devo Spice to plan and run. Beyond that, we're looking into possibly scaling up or scaling down. Scaling up would require getting investors for the event. Scaling down would mean going to a likely one-day event more akin to LukeSkiCon, the event that launched FuMPFest. None of that has been decided yet, though. We are still weighing our options.
