Greetings :)
It's happening! NoirCon is heading west from the gritty streets of Philadelphia to the even grittier streets of the California desert.
Join us for the 8th NoirCon in Palm Springs, California, at the Palm Springs Cultural Center.
NoirCon will be held from Thurs-Sun, November 7–10, 2024, and feature movie screenings, special guests, informative panels, and unique Noir-related events!
Please feel free to forward this “Save the Date!” email – and if this is being forwarded to you, visit the NoirCon website and join our mailing list to be notified when conference registration opens in a few weeks.
We hope to see you there!
Noir Regards,
