KC Zine Con #10: October 11 + 12!

Virtual Table Map

Welcome to the KC Zine Con Virtual Table page — our online exhibitor's hall!

The virtual table page is arranged randomly, and the order of the tables changes every time you refresh the page. (Please note: this page was uploaded when the table map was created, so some waitlisted zinesters might not be listed here yet -- and some folks who dropped out might still be included! Our volunteer organizers are working to make the updates as quick as possible.)

You can also search the tables by category.
