MOTD
We are excited to bring you, JawnCon™ 0x3! This will be our fourth year, and we are growing by a day this year. Stay tuned here, and on our discord, for up to date information. We are starting off early with looking for sponsors this year; so please check out our prospectus, and support our amazing event!

We are excited to announce our keynote speaker: Dr. Matt Blaze!



We are still not big enough to do a dedicated hotel room block, but there are two facilities nearby that folks are starting to stay at: The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ft. Washington and Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia/Ft. Washington. These are a quick drive on 309 that will have Arcadia University as an easy exit.
