This one came out of the blue, at least to me: the Horses at Home online convention, or HAHCon for short, will not be held this year. At the time of writing, no reason had been given. It's a bit of a surprise, given that panel applications were due to open on Saturday and HAHCon's Twitter account was still advertising the convention's previously announced date (29th February) at the time the announcement was made.
Whatever the reasons for the cancellation may be, it's very disappointing news. HAHCon was a brilliant idea for those unable to make it to physical conventions, and I'm sorry that it won't be around in 2020. The terse announcement doesn't say whether or not there are plans to return in future years – but I do hope that something like HAHCon will return, even if run by someone else. It's surely too good a concept to disappear entirely.
