Planning is in full swing for AdeptiCon 2008, to be held April 11-13, 2008, at our new venue, the Crowne Plaza hotel in Rosemont, IL. But before we take a look at the future, let’s take a look back at AdeptiCon 2007: the winners, the miniatures, and the excitement.

AdeptiCon 2007 Retrospective
AdeptiCon 2007 brought hobbyists from around the country to take part in the event of the year. See the action and some of the amazing work done by our AdeptiCon attendees in our 2007 Retrospective, downloadable from the link below:

Registration for all of our events will be on a first-come, first-served basis, so get ready to sign up for the can’t-miss event of 2008 for the Games Workshop hobby.

Our AdeptiCon code (ADT) should automatically appear in the “Group Rate” field, giving you the AdeptiCon rate of $99/night. Parking will be available for $10/day, and in addition, a free shuttle service to and from O’Hare Int’l Airport will be available for our out-of-town guests.

Please make sure that when you reserve your hotel room, you use the AdeptiCon code (ADT). AdeptiCon’s staff have worked to get the best possible rates for our attendees, and we need to make sure that our block of room is filled.

Join the AdeptiCon 2008 Staff!
Become a part of the AdeptiCon 2008 team! We’re looking for volunteers who are excited and passionate about the hobby to help us continue AdeptiCon’s tradition of excellence. Volunteers can earn free event tickets by helping us put together the greatest fan-run convention in the Games Workshop hobby.

We are looking for volunteers in the following areas:

• Operations Staff (Setup, Registration, Tech Support, Breakdown)
• 40K Tournament/Event Staff
• Fantasy Tournament/Event Staff
• Specialist Games Tournament/Event Staff
• Hobby Seminar Instructors
• *Communications/Marketing
• *Terrain Building (Chicago-area residency required)
• *Web Staff (Website maintenance experience required)

*These groups perform the majority of their work before AdeptiCon. All other groups do their work during the AdeptiCon weekend itself.

Note that with one exception (the Terrain Group), Chicago-area residency is NOT required, so no matter where you live you can help make AdeptiCon 2008 happen!

E-mail awc_nfp@yahoo.com today with your name, contact info, and areas in which you’d be particularly interested in volunteering. A member of the AdeptiCon Council will get in touch with you.
