Range FanCon 2025

A demo is a show of a process, skillset, or concept through a visual display. The presenter inspires participants to try the new idea or skill on their own afterwards. Examples could include: medieval-era combat techniques, Special Effects makeup tutorial, voice acting demo, drafting 101- beginning Magic the Gathering, storytelling through worldbuilding (as a writer, TTRPG DM, game designer), basic programming for game mods, etc.

A workshop is showing or teaching knowledge or a skill for participants to learn and practice. There is an interactive, hands-on element to learn a specific concept with guidance from the presenter. Some examples might include building and painting miniature models, medieval leatherworking, DIY cosplay armor, drawing manga, DIY pins or keychains, etc.

An activity's focus is on fun rather than education. This broad category might include trivia, anime video room, karaoke, quiz shows, book club meet and discussion, card games, etc.
