Again, we wanted to thank everyone who preregistered for this year. This is definitely one of the strongest preregistration drives we’ve had yet!

Here are the rules and criteria for cosplay at the con this year, just in case you need to make any modifications to your costume or props before the convention. If you’re planning on participating in the cosplay contest, you can help out our judges during pre-judging before the con a bit by posting an advance photo of your costume in this thread here on our forums for reference purposes.

There are still two standard rooms left available for two consecutive nights in our hotel block for those looking to stay the entire weekend as well as one left just for Saturday evening. All these rooms should have either two beds or a single bed with a pull out couch for multiple people to stay. These rooms are $92 per night. There are also still a few single king bed with beside whirlpool rooms left available outside the hotel block available for $102 per night as well as a couple of standard rooms left, but you’ll have to call the hotel directly (715-834-3181) and tell them you’re coming for NoBrandCon in order to get them to knock the rooms down to the convention rate. If you’re looking to stay at the con hotel, we definitely recommend making a reservation in the next few days because the cutoff for the convention rates is this Thursday, March 31. If you try to book a room after March 31, the rates will go up to the Plaza’s standard rates after that day.

And as always, if you can’t check the main site consistently for convention updates, feel free to follow us on Facebook & Twitter for convention updates!
