AdventureCon 2008 slotted for Labor Day weekend
After a rather turbulent first attempt to get off the ground in 2007, AdventureCon is back to try again in 2008.
According to organizer Howard Sherman, the new convention will be held this summer on Labor Day weekend, running from August 29-31 in The Water Club casino resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
While the full weekend's events have not yet been finalized, confirmed "VIP" guests include Scott Adams, Al Lowe, Lori Ann and Corey Cole, and Chris Jones. Among the activities planned are various discussion panels, workshops, plus an exclusive Friday night reception and weekend-long "live-action adventure game" reserved for those staying at the hotel.
The AdventureCon organizers are aiming for a total of 400 paid attendees, and have begun accepting early registration now. From now through April, a weekend pass will cost $99 (all amounts in US figures), with the price increasing to $129 in May and June, and $149 beyond that. Prices do not include food or hotel accommodations, though participants are encouraged to wait for the announcement of a special Water Club pricing plan for AdventureCon attendees, expected some time in mid-April.
As the convention's details are still somewhat tentative at the moment, be sure to check out the AdventureCon website for all the latest updates.
