Title: Events Ideas
Post by: Dingotush on October 11, 2011, 11:53:11
Update 01/04/2012 - We're now closed for new event submissions for the 2012 convention that will be published in the conbook.  You may still be able to host an event but it likely won't be in our conbook or printed timetable, but can be published in our online timetable at http://events.confuzzled.org.uk/2012/ or advertised on the Convention Noticeboard outside the Convention Operations office.  If you have already emailed your suggestion to events@confuzzled.org.uk then we should be able to include it in the conbook.

Original Post:


We are always interested in new event ideas, and with the new venue this year we should be able to run even more events than before.

If you've an idea for an event you'd like to run, or you'd like to see run, please continue to post them in this area of the forum. It is probably best to separate each idea out into a different topic (thread) and set the subject to the name of the new event.  This way others can add their thoughts too.

Obviously include a description of your event.  It would be really helpful if you could indicate if you want to be involved in running it; perhaps you've got expertise in the subject.  If it is something you'd like to participate in, perhaps suggest people who might be good people to run the event.

Currently we are in the process of setting up the timetable system, and working out where and when the big stage events fit.  Once that is done we will begin looking at the ideas here, things that people have mailing into the events team, the new ideas staff have come up with, events from previous years, and so on.

Please don't be discouraged by the lack of immediate feedback - every idea will be considered!

Are there any plans in place for a dance competition this year? Maybe, since last year wasn't so full, there could be a possible extension of time (like 2 minutes) for duo's and groups to allow for better flexibility?
I'm sure Zak and Kiyo as well as last year's dancers would be up for it, I know I would be! =D

Hello,

Just wanted to put this on the record: space for board/card/role-playing games is really appreciated. It's not exactly an event (well, except maybe pre-planned RPGs) but having a room with a few tables and chairs that people can occupy for the duration makes things much simpler, and if the location can be advertised in the conbook so much the better. This worked pretty well in the previous couple of cons -- the only snag I can think of is that the assigned space was very close to the dance floor and got pretty noisy at times.

(If I get organized I may run an RPG, but I daren't commit right now...)

Hi there,

We've got this one in hand, we're just deciding which is the best space to allocate to this. This should be done in enough time to appear in the conbook.

Ping! I sent in an email to events@confuzzled.org.uk about a proposed event (http://forum.confuzzled.org.uk/index.php?topic=1723.0) about month ago, I'm wondering if that email got through? I just forwarded it across again.

Cheers!

I might also need a bit of a ping about the creativity event and the other ones posted on the forum here :)
