History
In September 2020 it was announced that there would be no OwlCon in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic though the OwlCon directors expressed on social media their hope that "with luck we will all be back for a safe and healthy OwlCon in 2022."

Accommodations
OwlCon is held on the campus of Rice University and does not have any onsite accommodations for con attendees or official arrangements with any hotels. There are, however, a number of hotels nearby.
