Another amazing show, and so glad to see many new faces show up at the convention this year!

Words cannot express how much I already miss my Balticon comrades. I cannot wait to go again and do panels!! And yeah, seeing someone get excited over your book is the bomb. Thank you for your hard work, great efficiency, and all-around (and all night!) boss programming @balticon.bsky.social

Isn’t it great to be your full self? Thank you @balticon.bsky.social #Balticon59

Talking to one of our volunteers/attendees, Jenny says that: "Balticon is one of those cons that's enough. So many cons aren't quite long enough, but with the extra day, #Balticon is actually enough."

We are already starting to pack up. You've got a little time to duck 🦆 into the gaming rooms and dealers room before they close for good. We're not quite ready to say goodbye, but the end is nigh. #Balticon

Warning: give yourself extra time to switch floors. 2 of the elevators are closed. Technicians are en route! #balticon
