Frequently Asked Questions

What is PlumCon? What is a "con" anyway?

PlumCon is our yearly gathering of Plum Deluxe tea drinkers for workshops, tea time, and lots of fun. "Con" usually stands for "convention," but we think it also stands for "connection." This is our second year, and everything is virtual!

If it's virtual, do I get an actual ticket?

You will not receive a physical ticket; instead, you will be sent an email with an individualized (unique to you) link and instructions for how to access the event. Tickets will be available for purchase July 1.

How much will tickets cost?

his year, tickets will cost $15 each for access to all the events and event recordings. A limited number of goodie bags will be available for $60 and will include a ticket.

Which virtual platform will we be using?

We have chosen Airmeet because it offers a fun lounge area where everyone can gather. Plus, it's accessible and easy to navigate.
