The New Venue

This would probably be done by the security team, who are constantly patrolling the hotel, though we can't stop people from stopping there at all. It's also important to note that the corridor heading from front to back is much wider than the corridors at the old venue were and so it shouldn't be a huge problem.
Also, the more volunteers we have the easier it will be to keep any possible bottlenecks from clogging up. I'm sure details on how to volunteer will be made available as we get closer to the con so keep an eye out :)

Every Con I've been to, and volunteered for, at the Hinckley Island has had this problem. Usually a few minutes before each hour when the indecisive will get to this crossroads, then stop in a huddle with their friends to take out their mini-programs to look to see which event they want to go to and where it is. Then it turns into a narrow roundabout as people go around them... It's worst whenever a big event ends in the Paris Suite, since the majority of people are going to head through the crossroads.

I could always bring along my parking tickets? Anybody standing still too long is removed pending a fee of several cookies.
Just have to see how things go in the first year, it's hard to plan for everything that might happen.

I think the new venue looks absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to see it for myself!

I'm currently researching and looking in to this problem of making sure flow issues don't occur in the crossroads area. Hopefully we might be able to surprise you!
