We are thrilled to announce a special exhibition of 30 original Al Hirschfeld works to be on display at ISCAcon32! As tremendous fans of Hirschfeld’s work, it is an honor to have the opportunity share these with ISCAcon32 attendees. 

These works will be on display at the Icebreaker event on Sunday, November 12th and again at the public Caricature Showcase on Thursday, November 16th.

This exhibition is made possible by Stuart Ng Books and The Al Hirschfeld Foundation. Works will be for sale, with all proceeds benefitting the Al Hirschfeld Foundation.

ISCAcon32 ANNOUNCEMENT - WIFI ACCESS

The competition ballroom will NOT have WiFi access for the duration of ISCAcon32.

This was a difficult decision for the Board of Directors to make, but a necessary one. We want to be fully transparent about this decision as we know it may cause some significant concern, frustration, etc.

As you are all aware, costs have been rising for a variety of things over the last few years. What you may not know is that ISCAcon planning begins well over a year in advance. (Right now we are reviewing and signing contracts for ISCAcon33!) Costs for each venue are different, and Los Angeles is an expensive location. The cost for WiFi in the ballroom is $5,000 PER DAY for 200 devices. Again, that is for 200 DEVICES. Meaning, With 137 people registered already, we would max out those available spots very quickly, even if each attendee was limited to a single device being connected to the WiFi. With the current registrants, the cost would be $25,000 to offer WiFi for the week. All attendees WILL have WiFi access in their individual hotel rooms.

Registration costs increased this year to account for the other various costs associated with Los Angeles, and we wanted to keep that increase as low as possible and still cover all of the expenses tied to holding ISCAcon.

We know this is likely disappointing, and perhaps frustrating, but this is a decision that had to be made in the best interest of ISCA. Because of this decision, we wanted to communicate this early to allow everyone as much time as possible to plan for alternative options for internet connection (personal hotspot, etc.). Please know that we are also working on ensuring every attendee will be able to follow the schedule of events, and find needed information with or without the use of WiFi throughout the conference. We are doing everything we can to make this year’s ISCAcon the best one yet!

If you have any questions, please reach out to Kara at Director@caricature.org, or any member of the Board of Directors.
