We would prefer if you provided someone to collect and handle the money and check IDs so that we can focus on the content.
It also helps greatly if we have a confirmation at least 5 weeks prior so that we can be sure to have a keg of home brew ready.
Often Cons have strict arrangements with the hotels regarding food/drink (especially alcohol) in conference space. In the past, to work within those limits this workshop has been scheduled in a convention “party suite”. Often this would be the same space where an afternoon (steam punk) tea is hosted. And later that night used by another group to host a high profile party. And then again in the morning a brunch and/or “hair of the dog party” or a “relax with the writers/celebrities” event )Type your paragraph here.
