The summer has gone by in a blink and we're already onto the Adepticon planning stages. We had our first Adepticon planning meeting already this month and the wheels are in motion to deliver another fantastic show.

Right now it's about dates, dates and more dates. We're giving you plenty of notice to work Adepticon into your schedule. If you've ever been on the fence about coming over for the show, maybe this should be your year!

Let's start with the obvious - Adepticon will be at the Renaissance Hotel and Schaumburg Convention Center March 27th-31st. Gianna and I and the rest of our US crew would love to see you there, so start your planning now.

Next dates of importance are for registration. Registration opens Sunday, November 18th at 1pm CST and closes Thursday, February 28th at high noon CST. Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few years, you should be well versed in the swag that comes out of Adepticon.

That registration date is KEY if you want to be in on the VIG Swag bags for the show because they go FAST. The VIG badge does cost more than a regular badge, but I think we've shown time and time again that the contents of what has now become a super-sized backpack, more than makes up for your ticket price.

Gianna and I will be kicking off the Adepticon Talks series very soon and will be highlighting the monthly preparations for the con as well as insight into the events, seminars and activities.

Will you be joining us at Adepticon this year and what are you hoping to see?
