Parties and Cabanas
(First, Second and Fourth Floors, South Tower)
Parties are always one of the most exciting parts of CONvergence, and
you’ll be hard pressed to find more fun outside of a sinister underground
lair. In addition to two floors of poolside cabanas, parties can also be found
in our Satellite Party Zone on the Fourth Floor, around the corner and
upstairs from poolside. Don’t miss them!
Listed below are the official party rooms on all the party floors, as well
as convention functions located in poolside cabanas (such as ConSuite,
CoF2E2, and Krushenko’s). The information here reflects what was provided
to CONvergence at press time and is subject to change.
H Designates a CONVergence Party Partner. Thank you to all our fantastic
party sponsors and hosts!
