Host A Party At Context!

updated July 8, 2008

We love a good party. The trouble is, because of liability issues we can't serve alcohol in "official" Context spaces.

So, we invite publishers and fan groups to rent a suite and throw a party at the convention. We have several groups who are hosting parties:

There's room for more! We're offering 2 free memberships to any publisher/fan group that hosts a party suite at the convention. We'll also list your group on the front page of our website. Your party can be as plain or fancy as you like, although Apex Publications set the bar pretty high last year with mixed drinks and their own DJ.

The con rate at the hotel is $99.00 for a two-room suite and $79 for a regular room.

To get the discounted suite rate, mention FANACO and/or Context when you call -- if the agent at the 877 number doesn't know about the convention, or tells you that the room block is full, call 614-846-0300 during the day before 5 p.m. and you should be able to get a room at the correct rate. Our room block expires on September 1, 2008.

If you'd like to promote your book or group but don't have the resources to throw a party, you can also sponsor events in our con suite.

If you'd like to be a party host or suite sponsor, please contact our hotel liaison Abby Janota at ajanota[at]netzero.com.
