POC Programming Track

The POC Programming team is continuing our work to support POCs at Big Bad Con through financial aid, a community dinner, and an industry meet and greet event. This year (2023) we’re also working with local gamers in India, South East Asia, and Latin America to bring more international POCs to the con!

Morgan Ellis Awards

Morgan will continue on in our memories of him. This year, Big Bad Online is dedicated in memory of Morgan Ellis. We are also creating an award in his name, the Big Bad Morgan Ellis Award (or BigBad-ME!)
