ConDFW 2008 was a great success!
Thanks to all the guests, panelists, staff, attending members, dealers, artists, and anyone we’ve forgotten!
The con com will be taking a couple months off to recover and re-set for the 2009 event.
Keep these folks in mind, though:
Author Guest of Honor: Jim Butcher!!!
Special Guest of Honor: David Weber!!!
If you have a suggestion for an Artist Guest of Honor, please let us know…
Registration for ConDFW 2009 will commence on June 1, 2008 for all attending members, dealers, artists, and volunteers.
(Also, we seem to be a tiny bit over on our credit card deposit…a very specific amount, on one single transaction. If you think you were overcharged, please let us know and we’ll be glad to look it up and correct it if an error was made. If nobody speaks up by about March 15th, we’ll deposit the extra amount into our charity pool and donate it!)

January 27th : Having trouble contacting us? The hotel says a few folks have called them and said they were having trouble with e-mailing us. If you’re having difficulty getting a reply, be sure you’re emailing to INFO (at) ConDFW (dot) org, and be SURE to put CONDFW in the subject line!
January 13th : Reminder Postcards Mailed! Nearly everyone who attended ConDFW in the past few years should have received a reminder postcard at the address you gave us. If you didn’t get one, or your name was horribly butchered, it’s probably because we misplaced our Rosetta Stone to decipher (or you have moved.)
If you didn’t get one, don’t worry; it just reminds everyone that pre-registration has been extended to meet the hotel reservation deadline of February 7th. Now stop procrastinating, get that registration in, and make your hotel reservation!
January 6th (part 2): The pre-registration deadline has been extended until February 7th! (This is also the last day to reserve your hotel room at the convention rate.) For more information please see our Registration Page and our Hotel Page.
January 6th: We regretfully announce that Lee Martindale will be unable to attend this year’s convention.
January 3rd: Various biographies have been updated on the Panelist Page. Also, the hotel has just informed us that they are now completely a non-smoking facility. This includes all guest rooms.
January 2nd: The online code for hotel reservations has been corrected on the Hotel Page.
