Current / Recent Information

Mysterium is a weekend long Myst fan convention held annually during the summer, usually late July or early August.

Mysterium current website

From the current website: "In 2000, a group of Myst fans decided to organize a meet-up in Spokane, Washington, home of Cyan Worlds, Inc. What was initially planned as an informal gathering ultimately ballooned into a weekend-long event attended by over 200 people, with t-shirts, a catered lunch, and a tour of Cyan Worlds headquarters. Since then, Mysterium has traveled the country, visiting almost a dozen cities, and returning to Spokane periodically with Cyan Worlds as a gracious co-host. Now in its second decade, Mysterium has become a community tradition, and a sort of annual reunion."

A link from Eleri's August 07, 2011 blog post with the explanation:

MYSTERIUM 2012: If you haven't been paying close attention, you probably missed that there was, indeed, a Mysterium this year**. The well attended and superfun gathering just wrapped up today with the announcement that Mysterium 2012 will be next summer in Seattle, WA; and that Mysterium itself is will now be under the umbrella of the Falling Man Group not-for-profit organization. Snazzy stuff! **long story, not worth rehashing, all props to the Boston crowd for pulling this together.
