From the Desk of The Hotel Liaison...

<all hail the hotel liaison>

FINALLY!! 
The announcement many of you have been waiting for. 
The Hotel Room Block for Cleveland ConCoction is now open.

<smattering of vague applause from the back of the room>

To reserve your room simply follow this link:

A quick note about the above link. 
The default is set for staying Friday and Saturday nights. 
If you are changing that, say because you want to come in on Thursday night so you are fresh and ready for the opening of the con on Friday, or because you are only staying for one night (but, really, why would you want to do that), be sure to click the UPDATE button on the right after you make your preferred changes. 
Failure to do so will result in your reservation switching back to just Friday and Saturday. 
Thus leading to to confusion. 
​Thus leading to a confused email from the Hotel Liaison (and nobody wants a confused Hotel Liaison.  He gets cranky.)

Thanks to all for your patience and I look forward to seeing you at ConCoction 2020!!!!!

"Greetings ConCoctioneers! 

The ConCoction Volunteer Staff has been busy with another last minute date change going in to the 2020 membership year.

As we stated during our "State of the Con" Q&A panel and "Closing Ceremonies" at Cleveland ConCoction 2019 we do not want to break up the local Community between two events.
To that end Cleveland ConCoction 2020 has effectively moved to the third weekend in March - March 20-22, 2020. 

For those members who pre-registered their 2020 memberships at ConCoction 2019 and will now be unable to attend and would like a membership refund, send us an email with your name and registration information to registration@clevelandconcoction.org
We will honor these requests until June 30th, 2019, no questions asked. 

We will be returning to The Bertram Hotel & Conference Center in Aurora, Ohio again in 2020 and look forward to being at this host site again. 

Pre-registration for Cleveland ConCoction's 2020 Convention is now open online and mail-in forms will be available soon for download online.
Volunteer signups are also open for the 2020 year.
 
Keep an eye on our website and social media for future Guest announcements and more!

As the Hotel Liaison for Cleveland ConCoction I would like to personally thank everyone that has waited patiently to reserve a room for ConCoction 2019.

We've been ironing out details and troubleshooting the whole process with the hotel for quite some time. We ran into some roadblocks and computer glitches and a myriad of other obstacles this time.

But...  we finally have what I know you all want.
The official link to reserve your room!!!!!!!!!

We're going back to the Bertam Inn & Conference Center! 

Here's a quick update from our hotel liaison: 
​
We know you want to get your hotel rooms set for ConCoction 2019, and we are working on it.  
We've got some really cool stuff for this year on the hotel end (did somebody just whisper "Food Truck Friday" in your ear?  I think I heard that, too).  But as is always the case in contract talks, it takes time.  We're very close.  Very, very close. 
I'm hoping to have an active reservation link up and running around November 01.  Looking forward to seeing you all in March!!!

I'm sure you have all heard by now that Cleveland ConCoction has a new home. What you might not know is that our new home is as welcoming to the time honored tradition of the Convention Party as our old home was.
We have secured several suites at the Bertram Inn to have these parties, and it is possible for YOU to get one to have your party in.

If you and your fan group,or you and your friends, want to throw a rager at ConCoction, we still have a few suites left. If you bring in several paid memberships and a couple of hotel nights, or a combination thereof...
Or if you bring in a way cool, totally bitching party concept, or programming idea, we can get you a suite at NO CHARGE to you to have your event.
Contact me at hotelliaison@clevelandconcoction.org if you are interested.  - Eric 

For more information about parties or registering your party with ConCoction, click here or see the Parties Page under the Hotel tab.
