Tours at ConCoction 2020

12/19/2019

Comments

 
In 2019 we ran a pilot program on scheduled tours at ConCoction during the convention.
The hope was to show new and returning members different parts of the convention that they might not know about or otherwise see. 

This first year was a complete success and after listening to your feedback, we will be holding them again in 2020 during scheduled times: 

Friday
  • 12:00 pm (2 hours after Registration opens)
  • 3:00 pm

Saturday
  • 10:00 am
  • 1:00 pm

These times will be added to the Programming Schedule in the Onsite Program Book and the Online Program Schedule. 
The meet-up point for the Tours will start at Info Point in the Main Building and proceed from there.
