QUICK SUMMARY GUIDE FOR SAN DIEGO:

      • Register for a comic-con Member ID NOW! This is essential. Once you’ve got your Member ID, you’ll receive emails alerting you to deadlines and registration dates.
      • Returning registration (which last year was called pre-registration) and open registration will occur in early 2017. Probably February, but no guarantee. Last year open registration was on February 20. Returning registration was in late January — be watching for an email!
      • First-time attendees, professionals, guests of professionals, trade professionals, exhibitors (and exhibitor-purchased attendee badges), volunteers, staff, complimentary passes, and press are not eligible to participate in Returning Registration.
      • Hotels: The annual Hotel Sale (Hotelpocalypse!) will probably be in early April.
      • Vendor and exhibitor applications being taken now.

QUICK SUMMARY GUIDE FOR WONDERCON ANAHEIM:

      • Open registration badges are now on sale.
      • Professional, trade and press badges will be offered later. All badges will be mailed domestically.
      • Volunteer registration is now CLOSED for WonderCon. Sorry.
      • Hotels are now on sale and GOING FAST at discounted rates: For example, it’s $116 for Red Lion on up to $199 for the Marriott (SOLD OUT!). The Hilton is the headquarters hotel.
      • Masquerade entries are now open until March 17. Winners of the Masquerade win a free Wondercon 2017 badge.
