WonderCon in Anaheim 2013: March 29-31, 2013

[oakman29]

How was the Wondercon convention hotel: Anaheim Hilton? Any other recommendations for hotels within hiking distance of the convention center? I imagine there is lots of competition, restaurants, pubs within a 3 block radius.

I live ten minutes away from the Convention center,everyone come stay at my house.

 

I'm there. Oh I mean at WC.

I'll have cookies.

I thought this was expected, since Moscone is booked in the spring 2013, although there was some talk about having a second Wondercon in SF in the fall of 2013. Hopefully Comic-con will have two Wondercon shows.

 

Dammit, Wonder Con belongs in SF. May have to switch to the Emerald City show again...

[Joel Elad]

Relax, WonderCon is staying in SF but its moving to the fall. The organization is essentially adding a new show in Anaheim that's at the end of March 2013. So now bums like me don't have to travel to SF for a show like this.

it seems as tho cci did try for fall dates in SF but the only weekend the Moscone ct gave cci was at the same time as a large 'city wide event' and there was concern abt hotels etc

http://www.comic-con.org/wc/index.php

 

it is also reported via a private email from the Moscone ct. " I am responding to your email regarding Wondercon…Let me open by saying we love Wondercon and want them in San Francisco just as much as their fans want them. Maybe even more. We do not have space or dates for them…we have tried every year to fit them in and we try hard. The downside is they have a specific date range and now they have grown so much they need event more space…So they are limited in what is available.

 

I just want you to know we are working with them the very best we can to accommodate them…"

[nearmint]

Sounds like they want WonderCon, just not as much as they want every other event that they have scheduled.

[alyssa-migration]

purely a personal opinion here, I gotta think CCI for whatever reason needs to decide on a date later then other conventions. For example, the Medical convention can say today 'we'll hold our con in SF on April 20 2014.' I don't think cci can for whatever reason plan that far in advance.

Hi Everyone,

CGC only provides their services at the actual show - you can't mail them your books.

 

There are, however, independent facilitators who provide the service you're looking for - check out the SigSeries Event Announcements forum to see who's accepting submissions.
