Kumoricon holds monthly meetings where staff, volunteers, and interested members of the public gather face-to-face and share news about the planning of Kumoricon. These also serve as official meetings of the Altonimbus Entertainment membership at which any business can be voted on.
If you are considering joining staff or becoming a volunteer, attending any meeting is a great way to learn more and get started! All membership meetings are open to the public.
At the Annual Meeting of the Membership held a few weeks after each convention, the members elect the Chair and department Directors for annual terms.
