Due to the commercial availability of laser pointers capable of instantly blinding you, all laser pointers are banned from the convention areas. If you are seen with one, you will be asked to remove it from the convention area.

In the same vein, vuvuzelas are banned.

(UPDATED 7/30)

We have several important updates:

Firstly, we have the programming schedule online. Just download our pocket program. Please note, that all times are subject to change without notice.

Secondly, we have some important information for all of our members:

• Fan Table hours will be the same as the dealer’s room: Thursday through Saturday, 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM. Sunday 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM.
• We still have tickets available to our GOH Dinner, but seating is limited. For information, or to buy tickets online, check out the GOH Dinner link at the top of the page.
• For the safety of our members and staff we request that you not bring laser pointers. They will not be allowed inside of convention areas.
• The Raleigh Marriott has asked us not to run room ‘parties’. Instead we ask that you run ‘Meet and Greet’ events. We also ask that you be courteous towards the other guests, and keep parties inside of your private rooms. At the request of the hotel, please don’t let your Meet and Greets spill out into the hallways. Thank you.
• We have our full press guidelines available here.

UPDATE 7/29: Disability Services & Child Care

Reconstruction will not be directly handling either of these services. For rental of mobility scooters
please contact Eric at Van Products in Raleigh, (919) 878-7110. They will be able to deliver them to the convention center next week.

Likewise, for child care, please contact the Sheraton hotel at 919-834-9900
