Hi, everyone! Nuri Gocay here, ConChair for Penguicon 2014! I’m thrilled to be here, and plan on taking all the enthusiasm we’ve already generated and rolling it through to an incredible 2014 event! Please accept my heartfelt thanks for all the great suggestions and feedback posted to the Facebook Group! If you haven’t already, join the official Penguicon 2014 Event! For those of you who don’t use Facebook, we’ll be sure to keep you informed using all the methods at our disposal.
If you missed the thread on Facebook or the announcement at closing ceremonies, we will not be going back to the Auburn Hills Marriott due to space issues. The hotel was extremely easy to work with, and a ton of fun, but we had penguins popping out of panels at a problematic pace!
The new hotel is the Westin Southfield, and the official dates for Penguicon 2014 are May 2nd – 4th, 2014! To get a better understanding of our group, and how they can be as awesome as the hotel this year, the Westin sent over hotel ninjas to go to panels, visit room parties, and walk around the convention. They may have been sitting next to you! They’re extremely excited to work with us, and I think the space will be great for this year (and maybe more…?)
Our first official meeting at the new hotel is on Saturday, May 25, at 1pm. The meeting will be in the WINDOVER room. Come visit the new hotel, check out the space, volunteer to help out, talk about your ideas, and get next year rolling! Captain Sparrow will also be in attendance to help with the transition and finish up any business from last year.
If you’re interested in helping out in any way or have great ideas for next year but can’t make the meeting, email me and let me know. We’re only awesome because you’re awesome.
TLDR: Hotel Ninjas
