Annual Membership Meeting and Elections for 2011 – Posted Sep. 15, 2010Elections for the positions of Chair, Director of Operations, Director of Programming, Director of Publicity, and Director of Relations. Sunday, Sep. 26, at 1:00 PM at the Red Lion Hotel Portland Convention Center. Closing Ceremonies Announcements – Posted Sep. 6, 2010Thank you to all our attendees, staff, and volunteers! Read on to find out our attendance, charity auction results, mascot contest winner, and where Kumoricon 2011 will be. Attention! Video Gaming Has Moved! – Posted Sep. 2, 2010Due to an unexpected change in events, console and computer gaming will now be held below the Dealers Hall in the sub-basement level of the Main Tower! For the average attendee this means that you no longer have to walk over to the Executive Tower during the convention! There will no longer be any programming occurring at the Executive Tower. What this also means is that you will need to know, before you arrive at the convention, how to get down into the Valet Level (sub-basement) event space. Important Registration and Check-In Tips – Posted Sep. 1, 2010With the convention just a couple of days away, we’d like to remind you of some important check-in information including what you need to bring, and provide some tips on when and where to line up to register or check in. Update: Friday night line information.
Rejoicing in Reg: The Inside Scoop from the Assistant Registration Manager – Posted Aug. 29, 2011An interview with Brian Mathews, Assistant Registration Manager. “I’d be happy to go over all of what it takes for attendees to get their badges. First, the attendee has to have ordered their badge through the website or the mail-in form available on our website. Once we get that information, either online or through the mail, we enter it all into a database, in which we run a program that pastes that information onto the badges attendees receive. We have ‘reg meetings’ every couple of weeks or so, where we print out anywhere from fifty to several hundred of these badges, as well as envelopes for them. We then package the badges onto the letter they come with ourselves, pack them into the envelopes, stamp them, and deliver them to the Post Office.” Cosplay Skits: Pros Judge! You Vote! and You Can Still Enter! – Posted Aug. 29, 2011An interview with Andie Letourneau, Cosplay Coordinator. “This year, I’m really looking forward to having our Guests of Honor, Todd Haberkorn, Chris Cason, and David Vincent, judging the skits. Since all three of them are voice actors, they bring with them a tremendous amount of experience and acting knowledge, which they will use in assessing the skits entered this year. Another highlight is that this year is the first year that we will have an ‘Audience Choice’ winner for Cosplay.” Upcoming Geek Events – Posted Jul. 31, 2011Kumoricon is just around the corner, but there are plenty of geek events happening in Portland to keep you busy in the meantime. Read on to see just a few highlights to add to your schedule over the next few weeks. Get to Know, And Join, Your Staff – Posted Jul. 31, 2011An interview with Ash Butler, a new Yojimbo and Con Suite staff member. “There’s a lot of satisfaction in knowing you’re helping make the convention you enjoy so much better for everyone. So if you like helping people, it’s a great way to do it on a large scale. As staff, you can have a lot of input on the convention. It’s been proven to look good on most resumes. And it’s also cheaper to be staff for Kumoricon than it is to merely attend … If you’re not sure what you want to do for the con, there are a lot of jobs, so you should look them over and find one that suits your interests.” Volunteering: How and Why You’d Enjoy Getting Involved! – Posted May. 6, 2011An interview with David Reynolds, our Volunteer Manager. “Kumoricon exists to bring people together to have a good time, to make great memories, and that goes for everyone. We don’t want people to help because they feel obligated; we want them to help because they enjoy the experience and find it rewarding. That can mean anything from working in their favorite department, to helping only before con; or from volunteering only a couple of hours, to putting in so many hours that we make them honorary staff.” |
