Octocon 2025
October 11 – October 12 UTC
Hello everyone,
We have exciting news for you. We’re very happy to confirm our venue and dates for 2025.
We’ll be in the Maldron Hotel, Tallaght, Dublin for our in-person Octocon on Saturday 11th October from about 10am until late (yes, there will be an evening social event).
We’ll also be running online on both Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th, including streaming live from Dublin on Saturday.
Our new venue
This year, we will be at the Maldron Hotel in Tallaght. We’ve chosen this venue because it meets all our needs as a convention, plus it’s got good public transport links, free parking, cheaper hotel rooms than central Dublin, and it’s handy for the shops!
Get more info about the hotel.
Find out how to get there – it’s around 10 minutes walk from Tallaght LUAS stop, and on several bus routes.
Get your membership
Registration for Octocon 2025 is now open! Octocon has memberships, not just tickets, because we’re for an entire year, not just for one weekend. All membership types (except Child) give you access to all our online content and events for the whole of 2025, as well as our regular newsletters where you will get all the Octocon news before anyone else.
Our membership rates for this year are:
- Attending (Saturday + online): €40
- Concession (Saturday + online): €25
- YA (Saturday + online): €10
- Child (Saturday): free
- Friend (Saturday + online): €60
- Supporting & Online: €20
We’ve tried to balance increasing our rates to cover rising costs with keeping them low enough that cost isn’t a barrier for you and your friends. And remember that you can buy a supporting membership now and upgrade later to an attending one.
