Con-Chair Message

Hi there!

Thank you for coming to Tora-Con 2026! I hope everyone enjoys the convention and has a good time. 

We’ve made it another year, can you believe it? The behind the scenes this year was wild! I’m going to have so many stories to tell after this, and I hope you will too!

I’d like to start the thank you portion of this letter by thanking the ever-patient RIT providers. Without them, there would be no Tora-Con and I would’ve lost my mind months ago! So hats off to Tech Crew, University Arenas, Public Safety, Campus Life, the Campus Life Finance Office, and FMS.

Next up, a thank you to our staff. Ranging from the alumni to the students old and new. Everyone has had a significant role to play this year and without their input and work, absolutely nothing would’ve gotten done. Whether it be working in the middle of meetings or late night tours of RIT buildings, our staff has certainly put in some work this year.

Now, a toast to you, our humble congoing attendee. Without you, Tora-Con doesn’t exist! We sold out again this year, even after upping our ticket cap this year, which is frankly amazing! I’m so glad so many of you will be attending the Con this year, and it’s really inspiring to see after all the work and stress from this year. So, from all of us to all of you, thank you!

Regards,

Dylan Lewis
