SyndCon 2025
The 24th annual SyndCon event took place in Minneapolis in August of 2025. Members from all over the US and the world attended with our local members helping to plan and coordinate the whole event. It was an epic experience exploring all that Minneapolis, St. Paul and the Mall of America had to offer from Whirlyball, to the history of gangsters in St. Paul, to escape rooms and much more. Dozens of Syndies had a great conference and continued to grow our community. The Mall of America was a site to see in an era of US History where malls were all but dead. Few cities still had malls that attracted large numbers of customers and stores but the MOA was very successful. It turns out the city built the mall and after recouping costs, years ago, lowered rents a great deal which keeps stores and that in turn draws in visitors. Smart business move. The Syndicate also kicked off our 2025 raffle at SyndCon with our continued focus on being able to support the Boys and Girls club. We look forward to next year where we will not only have our 25th annual SyndCon but it will be in celebration of 30 years as a community.
