We have several important updates:

Our updated pocket program is online. Just download our pocket program. Please note, that all times are subject to change.

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. In a similar vein, vuvuzelas are also not allowed within 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

UPDATED 7/30: Art show

The Art Show is excited to announce that we have reserved space for walk-ups. The prices will be $15 for a 2′x4′ section of panel or half of a 6′x30″ table, and $30 for a 4′x4′ section of panel or a full 6′x30″ table. Check out our Art Show page for information, including Art Show hours and the rules for artist submissions. Space in the Art Show is limited.

See you in Raleigh!

In addition we are still looking for volunteers. If you wish to volunteer shoot an email to operations@reconstructionsf.org.

As a final reminder, our room block at the Sheraton closes July 24th. This is your last chance to reserve a room at the convention price. Online registration closes July 25th. After that registration will only be available at the door.

Also, a quick reminder. If you have not reserved your hotel room this is your last shot. Registration in the Sheraton closes July 24th. For information about making your reservation check out the Facilities section of our site.

Our preregistration closes July 15th. It is fast approaching so if you have not preregistered this is your last chance.

• We have released Progress Report 1. The .pdf version is available for download here.

• Information about the masquerade, including a registration form, have been posted on our Events page, here.

• We are proud to present our list of programming participants, available here or through our Programming page. From our programming page you can also see a tentative list of programming items. Expect this section to update often.

We would also like to encourage those members who have not reserved rooms yet to do so soon, as the registration window is closing. The cut-off dates for the ReConStruction discounted rate are July 3rd in the Sheraton and July 5th in the Marriott.
