You asked for it, you got it!

Here is a loverly thread where you can post your informal get together meetings and ideas. Want to sit and discuss Snape over a cocktail? Post your meeting here. Want to get a group together to go and visit Harvard Square? Post your meeting here. You'll want to let people know the general info; where you'll be meeting, what time, the topic or reason for getting together.

NOTE: Leakycon is not responsible for these informal meet-ups. If you decide to participate, it is at your own risk. Be careful about agreeing to meet with people you may have never met, and be sure to get your chaperone's approval if you are under 18. In other words, people, BE CAREFUL. Please.

PLEASE do not post phone numbers or emails in your post. Communication, RSVPs, etc., can be done via PM (and if you want that info in a PM, that's up to you. Just don't post it publically, please)

We'll also have, at the conference itself, a bulletin board where these informal meetings can be posted. It will be near the information desk.

Go forth and meet!

I would like to have some sort of meetup for people who are going to the con by themselves, and want to meet people to hang out with during the con. This will probably occur the first day. If anyone wants to help me with this send me a message!

There will be a "common room" area where people can hang out and meet/greet. so keep that in mind when you want to get to know other people at the con, or have a few moments where you want to sit down and chill.

I'm excited you guys liked the idea. Me and one of my friends want to do a HP Michigan meetup for people that dont know about the group yet, and another one that we are debating as well. We'll be posting after the schedule comes out!!! Yayyy:D

Wizards Gone W!LD (a documentary on the fandom that awesome built) is now accepting submissions. We will also be doing interviews at LeakyCon for ANYONE that wishes to come. Or just drop by with an SD card filled with your favorite moments.

At other Sci-fi/Fantasy conventions there is a Con-Suite, it's a common room where people can sit a relax and talk and the Con usually provides drinks (soda/juice/water) and snacks (chips, nuts, chocolate). Some Cons keep this room manned 24hrs because people will stay up all night chatting. I've been a Potter fan for only the last couple years, but have been going to Cons for many years in the Boston area. For your meetups this would be a perfect place to start.

Thank you for your question, samuraix47!

We will be having a Common Room open from 9:00AM-5:00PM on Friday and Saturday where there will be games, a meet-up schedule board, and a general area to hang out during the day with friends. Because this is a conference made to benefit charities, we won't be providing snacks or beverages in this room, as it is purely meant for games and meet-ups. We hope that you'll enjoy your time in this room and we are putting some great ideas into it!

Thanks for your questions, and if you have any more concerning the Common Room or any other Informal Programming questions, please feel free to direct them to us at informalproposals@leakycon.com smile.gif

Thank you,
Addie Caliendo
Informal Programming Chair

I'm planning on having a Quest meet and greet at the conference.

Tentatively scheduled for Thursday at 2pm, place to be determined.

Just a chance for Questers to meet each other before the conference officially starts, and if anyone has books they want signed, they can bring them as well (I will sign books whenever someone puts one in front of me, to be honest! lol)

Notice: This is subject to change, based on what happens with my duties during the conference. wink.gif

I'll be there, most likely carrying a TON of Hunt Quest books!
