Greetings all,
The Fire Conclave Council is delighted to announce that the Intention period for participating in the 2024 Fire Conclave is NOW OPEN. The submission period closes March 1, 2024 @ Noon PST.
The Intent to Perform submission form is now OPEN. Shins of all groups, new and returning, must fill out this form.
Regardless of if you have done this before or not it’s a good time to review what it takes to participate. We have updated the document we like to call “So you wanna be a Shin”, which describes what it takes to lead a fire group through the audition process and perform in the Great Circle before the Man burns. Even if you don’t intend to lead a group this document is helpful for anyone who wants to understand the process.

2024 Art Theme: Curiouser & Curiouser
The 2024 Burning Man theme celebrates puzzles without answers, embraces the irrational and the absurd, and invites the unknown over for tea. Because it’s in those timeless moments of not knowing, when we’re consumed entirely by curiosity, that we experience our most profound learning, growth, and creativity. All great journeys of discovery begin with a question; without that spark of curiosity no movement is possible. Staring into the void of unreason, we experience the wonderfulness of wonder, and the staggering awesomeness of awe. Which leads inexorably to the asking of better questions. Which is, after all, what makes us better than the robots.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?” – The Mad Hatter

Burner Profile, Burning Man Tickets & Vehicle Passes
The Burning Man Ticket page is the best place to get the most up-to-date and accurate information about ticketing options. You must be pre-registered through the Burner Profile system to participate in any of the ticket sales. (Hint: if you haven’t already, set up your Burner Profile now.) There are many ways to purchase a ticket, so check the Burning Man Ticket page for details.
If you purchase a ticket and then learn that you’ve been accepted into the Fire Conclave, we’d love it if you would use the ticket you already purchased. If you must sell it, we encourage you to sell it through the STEP program or, in the spirit of the 10 Principles you may gift purchased tickets. If you move from your current address please make sure you change it in Burner Profiles.
