Question: What’s one part new media, one part gaming, and one part nerd party?

Answer: It’s Intervention, Maryland’s only “Internet convention.”

For the third year in a row, Intervention brings together digital media enthusiasts for three-days of workshops, panels, educational content, children’s programming, board and video gaming, Live Action Roleplaying, musical performances, and more. This year, it’s held in Rockville’s Hilton Hotel from September 21-23.  

“[co-founder] James Harkenell and I wanted to put together an event that would compliment the existing print-centric conventions-we wanted to showcase the creators who use the Internet as their primary publishing method. We felt that web creators needed their own space. We’re giving them that with Intervention,” says Onezumi Hartsein on the website. She’s the creator of a couple of online comics: My Annoying Life and Stupid & Insane Defenders Against Chaos.  

The guest lineup is still being compiled, but confirmed guests include: Daniella Pineda from CollegeHumor.com, A.J. Rosa, creator of My Life With Sega, Christopher Baldwin, creator of Spacetrawler, Cinematic For the People, a “live-action bad movie riffing experience”, and Cosplay Burlesque. Showings of classic cult flicks like Dork of the Rings, Harvey Putter and the Ridiculous Premise, and Ninjas Vs. Monsters can be expected.
