APOLLYCON 2017 ATTENDEES INFO!

March 9, 2017   |   Leave a Comment

Planning To Attend ApollyCon 2017? 

Keep reading for updates and more!

Before you proceed:

Make sure you have secured an ApollyCon 2017 ticket via Eventbrite. The event itself is COMPLETELY SOLD OUT. We will not be adding tickets, or selling any at the door.  You MUST have either a GENERAL ADMISSION (free) TICKET, a TITAN PASS, or an APOLLYON PASS if you plan to attend the signing Saturday. If you only have a DEMIGOD PASS, this will NOT get you into the Saturday signing, as it is good for the AFTER PARTY ONLY. If this applies to you – please email us at apollyconevent@gmail.com ASAP. <–This is for Demigod pass holders only. Not for people looking for GA tickets.

 


 

WHEN YOU ARRIVE:

  • Make sure you check in at the registration area.
  • EVERYONE MUST CHECK IN AT REGISTRATION, REGARDLESS OF WHICH TICKET/PASS THEY HAVE.
  • Titan and Apollyon pass holders will get a laminated badge to wear when getting access to the signing space, GA ticket holders will get an adhesive name tag that must be worn/visible when going into the signing space. (Demigod/After Party ticket holders will get a wristband that says “Apollycon Party Pass” that must be worn to enter the party. Q&A with JLA ticket holders will get a silicone bracelet that says “I’m on the Dead List” that must be worn to enter the panel.)
  • As long as you have a badge or name tag, you’ll be able to go in and out of the space as often as you’d like during the event hours.
  • We highly recommend that you check in prior to Saturday (if possible), as we anticipate a HIGH amount of attendees for the general session Saturday.
  • REGISTRATION HOURS:

THURSDAY, MARCH 23RD – 4PM – 8PM

FRIDAY, MARCH 24th – 10AM – 8PM

SATURDAY, MARCH 25th – 8AM – 4PM

  • For complete registration information, go here.

Looking for an author or vendor in particular?

Here’s the seating chart (*will be the same layout during the Titan & General signing sessions):

 

TICKETED AUTHOR INFORMATION:

Here are the 18 “Ticketed Authors” for the Saturday session (not applicable for the TITAN signing):

  • If you plan to see any of the authors listed above, you must get a numbered wristband from the registration area.
  • If you were unable to pre-register for wristbands (in November),  you will be able to get wristbands for the author(s) you want to see beginning at 10AM Saturday. **THERE WILL STILL BE PLENTY OF WRISTBANDS AVAILABLE FOR THE EVENT.**
  • If you preregistered, you may pick up your wristbands during any of the days/times that registration is open. Please do so before 10AM Sat, as we will release unclaimed wristbands after that time.
  • The only author who will have limited wristbands available onsite is Sarah J. Maas. She has a limitation due to an injury in her wrist. (We will have about 150 available Saturday after 10AM).
  • FOR MORE INFO ABOUT TICKETED AUTHORS (INCLUDING FAQ’S), GO HERE.

VENDORS & APOLLYCON MERCH:

We will have 4 vendors selling bookish merch during both signings:

  1. Appraising Pages/Bookish Box (They’re selling ApollyCon shirts!)
  2. Pivot Book Totes
  3. Dooodles by Christina
  4. Chick-Lit Designs

We will also have an ApollyCon Merchandise table, where we will be selling ApollyCon-branded merch like totes, water bottles, zippered pouches, etc.

 

BAG POLICY:

Any non-wheeled bags, backpacks, totes, etc are permitted. You do not have a bag limit for the room, but make sure that you’re able to handle the bags you’re carrying in a controlled manner (as in, only bring what you can manage to carry/hold without obstructing lines/walkways).

For bags/carts/suitcases with wheels: you may only bring bags with wheels that can be pulled/pushed in an upright position. (So vertical, not horizontal carts.) If you plan to bring a suitcase, DO NOT LAY IT FLAT (HORIZONTAL) WHILE IN LINE, AT THE AUTHOR TABLE(S), OR IN THE AISLES/WALKWAYS. You may leave the room to lay the suitcase flat to reshuffle it’s contents.

  • HERE’S A REMINDER OF THE WRISTBANDS ASSIGNMENTS! 
For all #ApollyCon2018 attendees planning to attend the Saturday signing: please do not plan to start lining up to enter before 8AM. 
As a reminder, REGISTRATION OPENS AT 9AM. 
TICKETED AUTHOR GROUPS: YOU MAY NOT LINE UP FOR ENTRY PRIOR TO 30 mins before your group entry time! For example, if you have wristbands for group A (who enter at noon), do not get in the line for the ticketed authors before 11:30AM. (Group B: do not line up before 12:15PM, Group C: do not line up before 1:00PM, Group D: do not lineup before 1:45PM.) **Reminder: if you don’t have a ticketed author group entry group assignment, you can enter at 3PM! >> We will post a picture on this page and the ApollyCon Attendees Facebook Group with which wristband colors we’re using for each ticketed author group so you can use it for a reference. 
REMINDER: If you plan to drive in for the day, the hotel’s valet garage is FULL. Should you drive here, Hotel valet staff can direct you to the PMI parking lot nearby (or alternative lots) where there may be spots for hourly parking. 
NOTE: in order to get down to the signing room (The independence center), you will need to go to level “E”. However, if you plan to arrive prior to doors opening (at 12PM), you  need to go to the Ballroom “B” level, which is 2 levels down from the Lobby. As a precaution, the hotel will only have the elevators running to the Lobby level. This means you will need to plan to take the escalators to get to the E (one level down from the Lobby), and B (two levels down from the Lobby). IF YOU HAVE DISABILITIES/ACCESSIBILITY CONCERNS/ETC: we will have an area on the lobby level where you may line up (AFTER 8AM). Hotel security will be escorting all attendees unable to use the escalator (due to injury, wheelchair, mobility/accessibility concerns) via elevator. 
We will be in touch soon!
  • Make sure you’re #apollycon2018 ready!!! 👀📸
