[https://fancyclopedia.org/Eastercon_2021 ConFusion], the 2021 Eastercon, lived up to its name. The very ambitious plan for the committee to be the first fannish users of a video-game like virtual convention system [[Gathertown]] failed because the software only worked on a limited range of platforms, provided a poor experience and had access issues. [[Discord]] was used for text chat well enough, but a complicated lashup of different systems for programme was confusing and unreliable, with almost no programme available for the first 2 days of the 4 day event. Committee relations with other staff areas were poor, and criticism not accepted. With the same committee bidding again site selection [[voting]] was acrimonious, and the curation of virtual questions unpopular.

The high hourly cost of Gathertown precluded much pre-con testing, and led to a £50 virtual membership which was viewed as expensive.

The virtual [[Art Show]] using ????? was very well received.
