KeyCon 2026 Extends Early-Bird Registration, Opens App Access March 1

KeyCon, the US-based mechanical-keyboard community conference and meetup, extended its Early Bird registration window through March 13 and opened access to the conference app Whova beginning March 1 for the 2026 event. The KeyCon site carried the headline in uppercase: “EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION EXTENDED THROUGH MARCH 13! Click here to register.”

Whova access began March 1, two days before KeyCon took place on March 3, 2026, according to the schedule context and site notices captured in the registration materials. The Original Report confirmed that access to the conference app (Whova) would begin March 1, placing app roll-out immediately ahead of the single-day event date.

The KeyCon website also lists pricing tiers and registration links and displays a “# Full Conference Schedule” heading, indicating where session listings and times would appear for attendees. Site navigation labels visible in the captured assets included “2026 Conference,” “Birthday Celebration,” “About,” “Support KeyCon,” and “More,” signposting the pages attendees could use to register and find event information.

Ticketing on the site made a distinct separation between general attendance and a separate party: “Please Note: Your Conference ticket does not include access to the Birthday Celebration. Both tickets can be purchased upon registration.” That wording identifies the Birthday Celebration as a separately ticketed event available during the same registration flow listed on the KeyCon site.

Branding and social links were visible on the captured pages. Image assets referenced by filename included “Keystone-Secondary-FullColor.png” and “2025 Keystone-Primary-fullcolor.png,” and the site showed social link labels for Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Those filenames suggest KeyCon maintained keystone-themed branding assets on the site while also retaining a 2025 primary graphic file.

As of March 6, 2026 the registration messaging, Whova access date, and ticket separation language remained the clearest published notes from KeyCon’s materials: Early Bird extended through March 13, Whova active from March 1, and the Birthday Celebration sold separately. The KeyCon site’s pricing-tier pages and the Full Conference Schedule heading remain the primary places for attendees to confirm ticket details and the event program.
