Reaper User Reaper Ron Posted August 7, 2015 Reaper User Share Posted August 7, 2015 ReaperCon is moving! ReaperCon 2016 When: October 20-23, 2016 Where: Premier Event Center, Lewisville, Texas That's right, you read that correctly! Not only are we moving ReaperCon to a bigger facility in 2016, we're also moving from the Spring to the Fall season! ReaperCon 2016 is going to be even more spooktacular! The reasons for the move (both date-wise and location) are many, but this change allows us to hold ReaperCon at a sizable location and still do it affordably for us and you, the attendee. But you should also expect more classes, more top-name instructors, more food options, more events, and more fun! All in time for a Halloween treat! Keep an eye out for more announcements here on the Forums as well as on ReaperCon.com and on our Facebook.com/ReaperCon pages. We're excited about the new opportunities and hope you'll join us in October 2016! We have secured discount rooms at the Hilton garden Inn, Lewisville also. http://hiltongardeninn.hilton.com/en/gi/groups/personalized/D/DALLEGI-REAICI-20161018/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG Group Name:Reaper Individual Call In Block Group Code:REAICI Check-in:18-OCT-2016 Check-out:26-OCT-2016 Hotel Name:Hilton Garden Inn Dallas Lewisville Address: 785 State Highway 121 Lewisville, Texas 75067 Phone Number:972 459 4600 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ub3r_n3rd Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I feel some pressure being lifted actually, I was worried about getting started on my diorama that I plan on doing for the Con, but this allows me more time to get that done and a few more projects done. It also allows me more time to save up money and annual leave. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminalmancer Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Holy carp, October? Wow. (Not in a bad way. We'll still try to make it.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Goodchild Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Moving the convention through time and space; I approve! Seriously, I like the fall idea. It's my favourite season and now I have one more reason to love it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3r_n3rd Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I like it, gives me more time to finish projects for the Con contests, time to save up more money, and more annual leave built up to make sure I'm able to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper User Reaper Ron Posted August 7, 2015 Author Reaper User Share Posted August 7, 2015 And our preferred hotel is still the HIlton Garden Inn where we've been the last two years. We're not holding any events there, but we'll still be using that as a place to stay and whatnot. :) We'll be opening up our room block "soon". :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terminalmancer Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 It does fit the theme! And if you were to, say, have to delay it a week, FireElemental and I could spend our anniversary at Reapercon. Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. They won't be delaying now, but you can still go ahead and spend an extra week there and go visit the Reaper facilities for your anniversary. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperbryan Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Expect updates to the ReaperCon Website to be rolled out throughout the coming weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanguad Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'll still make room for this convention, but I am quite sad that we won't be able to have the convention co-located with the hotel. So convenient! (though I can guess at some of the reasons for moving, and they make sense) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Ub3r, there are some motels in the area of the event center. They look pretty cheap. There's also a Waffle house across the highway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
