Minneapolis Review

CONsole Room Events is proud to bring CONsole Room to Bloomington, MN for the tenth year in a row in 2023. The family-friendly convention, which has been held annually since 2014, celebrates the TV show Doctor Who and, more importantly, the community and connections that have stemmed from it.

These connections continue to be at the heart of the CONsole Room convention experience, and for the second year in a row CONsole Room is offering inclusive hybrid engagement that invites fans near and far into the convention. That experience includes a mix of standard and less-conventional offerings that the convention has become known for, from expected panels and guest interviews to unique creative spaces and cooperative games, including:

•Guests of Honour from the long-running TV show, including Sophie Aldred (“Ace”) and Tom Knight (“Luke Smith” in the spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures).

•Local and global professionals related to science, science fiction, and fandom, including author T. Aaron Cisco, costumer Steven Ricks, Assistant Professor of Astronomy Anna Williams, and more.

•Additional standard offerings, such as panel discussions, autograph and photograph opportunities, and multiple vendor spaces will also be available for attendees.

• “WhoItYourself” events celebrating the originality and creativity in the fandom, including a painting event and a hydroponics workshop

•Virtual and in-person connection via our digital Discord space
