About Crab Con
Crab Con is an international annual hermit crab convention for land hermit crab enthusiasts. The first and only of its kind!

Yes! The vendor booths will be open once the event begins.
If the booth owner is currently speaking they will not be available live in their booth. However, you can still shop.
Yes but your experience will be less than idea. If you must use a mobile device please install the HopIn app. The web browser on your phone will not function in an acceptable manner.
Main Stage presentations are pre-recorded. At the end of each day, the Main Stage presentations for that day will replay as one continuous video overnight. You can jump to whatever presentation you wish.
A session is a live panel of presenters. There will be no end of day replay of sessions.
Main Stage presentations will be available to VIP and All Access ticket holders immediately after Crab Con ends. Sessions will be available to VIP and All Access ticket holders approximately two weeks after Crab Con ends.
Unfortunately, Hopin will NOT allow the Crab Con organizers to change the names or emails of registrants. Only attendees can change their names or emails in the Hopin system. This is to protect the attendee's identity/personal information. Once you have registered, only YOU control that information.
Here is the link with instructions on how attendees can make changes to their names or emails themselves.
If you gave Hopin the wrong email when you registered, you can still correct that, too. You simply need to sign in using the INCORRECT email that you gave Hopin when you registered (if you don't know what that is, we can find that out for you) and using your password. Then once you are in the system, you can correct your email by following the instructions in the link above. Again, Crab Con organizers do not have permission to change emails for you. If you are still encountering issues, HopIn has Help staff that can solve more complicated issues with your registration.
