All Souls Con 2018 will be in Philadelphia on August 10-12. Tickets are now on sale.

All Souls Con is the first convention themed around the award-winning All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. The 2015 and 2017 conventions were streamed live to virtual attendees around the world, and the event proceeds were donated to Bodley’s American Friends, the American organization that provides support for the Bodleian Library in Oxford.

All Souls Con’s goal is deliver a memorable, immersive experience where you are transported to Diana and Matthew’s world. All the panels focus on themes and topics found in the series, the food and beverages are inspired by the trilogy, and so are all the contests, and even the items in the attendee bag.

Attendees are active participants, leading lectures and workshops, and joining panel discussions and trivia contests.

Meet the Hosts

Karen Mendez

Karen is a business professional and event producer based in the Los Angeles area. As fan of such splendid novels like The Sword of Truth, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and The Hunger Games, it was only a matter of time before completely falling in love with Deborah Harkness’s All Souls trilogy. As a lover of all things artistic and altruistic, this event serves as a perfect pairing for her. Speaking of pairings, good eats and great wines go hand in hand with her love of travel.
P.S. She’s a huge fan of the epic brilliance that is The X-Files…All Souls…hmmm…connection?

Laura Ventura

Laura is a marketing professional based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She would be perfectly happy to live in a world with witches, daemons, and vampires. Inspired by her geek friends, she started to attend conventions in 2010, and has been addicted ever since. A big foodie, she has obsessed about the All Souls Trilogy ever since she found out that wine, Mariage Frères tea, and smart women were featured in the books. As a fan of The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, the Sword of Truth, and The Hunger Games novels, it was natural for her to love Deborah Harkness’s masterpiece trilogy. She enjoys traveling, art history, epic soundtracks, and loves Hamish Osborne, Goody Alsop, and Stephen Proctor.
