This just in from No Brand Con’s Amazing Justice Center!
Make sure you stay tuned.
I know you’ve probably been scrambling to preregister to make it by the March 21st Deadline — but fear not! We’ve decided to extend No Brand Con preregistration until March 31st!
That’s right, you have a whole extra ten days to preregister for No Brand Con 2008!
Register Online or use our Mail in Registration Form!
Don’t wait much longer though, because the 31st is coming up pretty quickly too.
No Brand Con isn’t just a once a year event for a lot of people. In fact, there is a community both locally and online that works towards this event year round.
Because of that, we thought we’d start a semi-regular podcast to update you not only on convention planning, but geekery in general. This opening episode is just a brief introduction by No Brand Con co-founder and long time staffer Topher “I play Greenboy” Marohl, but stay tuned for more in the long run.
At the end of the month/beginning of March we’ll be showing up at MarsCon, in Bloomington, MN. Our party is on the Saturday night of the convention (March 1st), so look out for us. Our parties tend to be quite a bit of fun, so stop on by our room on the 13th floor, say hello, and have a great time.
Or don’t. It’s really up to you.
That same weekend, February 29th-March 2nd, some of our staffers will also be walking around Anime Milwaukee at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. While we won’t be running a room party there, we will be coming to have a great time.
If any of you No Brand Heroes are attending these conventions, and you have No Brand Con T-shirts, you should make sure you wear them – so we can find you and say hello!
We’re proud to announce that all space in the No Brand Con 007 vendor room has been filled! That’s the fastest we’ve ever filled up the space. We’ll have a list of confirmed vendors up as soon as we can.
We’ve also uploaded information on our Artist’s Alley — which you can find online here.
So, while our website is still in flux (and not everything is up yet), we’ve added quite a bit of handy information this weekend for your enjoyment.
Make sure you poke around, but if you visit the attendee and vendor pages you’ll find some new information that wasn’t there before, along with printable, mail-in versions of our registration forms (which we know some of you were patiently waiting for). On the Attendee page you’ll also find a link to the documentation on Sponsoring No Brand Con (PDF).
Look out for more information and updates soon!
We’re pleased to announce that both attendee and vendor registration is open for No Brand Con 2008, our seventh convention. Preregistering has many benefits, including saving a little cash ($30 for a weekend pass instead of $35, along with a discounted T-Shirt Cost) and the option to sign up for our annual Sunday Brunch with the Guests.
And vendors, remember that our Vendor room space can run out, so be sure to register as soon as possible!
Sorry for the short term issues with the site. You can see our news section has been restored, and forums have returned to their normal home.
We’re taking steps to ensure that this does not happen again. Thank you for your patience.
NoBrandCon 2007 wrapped up yesterday evening, closing what may be the best NoBrandCon yet! We’re sure a bunch of you are coming to the site for the first time – so why not check out our forums while you’re here? It will give you a chance to talk to your fellow congoers and talk about your favorite parts of this year’s con!
We reached a record attendance again (905 attendees at last count), making 2007 our biggest year to date, and we hope you all join us next year for NoBrandCon 7 in 2008!
For some reason, someone tried to hide this video from us, as it’s a couple of weeks old. In an attempt to show you how much work you’d never expect goes into NoBrandCon, we thought we’d let you into one of our more obscure committees. So, check out the infamous NoBrandCon Science Committee!
