WONDERCON ANAHEIM 2018 TOUCAN TIP OF THE DAY! #14: Future Tech Live! at WonderCon Anaheim 2018

Are you interested in virtual reality, robotics, and artificial intelligence? You’ve come to the right place. Future Tech Live! joined our sister convention, Comic-Con International, for the first time in 2017,  and we're very excited to announce they'll be making their debut with us this year at WonderCon Anaheim!

By the way, they’re bringing with them some pretty amazing surprises. (Wink-wink.)

There will be a brand-new Space Zone, complete with members from NASA. The AI Innovation Fair will be the place to explore several technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Did you just ask about an astronaut extreme dive? Yup, they’ll have that, too! Just be on the lookout for Fulldome Pro and the team from SpaceCRAFT.

Future Tech Live! will be featured in its own room at WonderCon Anaheim 2018 ... stay tuned for more details later this week!

Badges are available online only and will not be sold onsite at the Anaheim Convention Center.

WONDERCON ANAHEIM 2018 TOUCAN TIP OF THE DAY! #15: Spotlight on Room 204C

Come one, come all! Room 204C has something for everyone! Kids, writers, artists, gamers, talkers, listeners, and everything in between. We welcome you to join us in Room 204C during one of the many amazing events listed below!

The Her Universe Fashion Show: Junior Design Camp
On Saturday, March 24 from 10:00 AM-1:00 PM, Her Universe founder Ashley Eckstein is inviting kids (ages 5-17) to learn design with the Her Universe Team during her junior design camp! This event is free with a WonderCon Anaheim 2018 badge (child badges for kids age 12 and under are free with a paid adult badge) and no experience is needed. During this three-hour session, junior designers will learn how to bring their ideas to life with a step-by-step tutorial of the fashion design process. Junior designers of all skill levels are encouraged to come armed with only their imagination, but ready to learn and sketch out their designs (supplies will be provided!). Parents are welcome to attend and will also have the opportunity to ask questions during a Q&A portion of the class.

Writers Coffeehouse
We are thrilled to announce that Mysterious Galaxy will be bringing The Writers Coffeehouse to WonderCon Anaheim from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM on Sunday, March 25! Led by Peter Clines (Paradox Bound, The Fold, and countless articles on the film and television industries), the Writers Coffeehouse is exactly what it sounds like: a bunch of writers hanging out and talking about writing. Questions about pitching and selling? Writer’s block? Conquering frustrations in the writing industry? Come by for a chat! It’s open to all, so you could find yourself in the middle of a best-selling writer and a beginning one … just imagine all the information!

Comic Creator Connection
WonderCon Anaheim will once again host the Comic Creator Connection! This event is a unique opportunity for writers and artists to meet in a fun, fast-paced setting. If you are a writer looking for an artist, or an artist looking for a writer, you’ll get the opportunity to meet 15-20 people at the Comic Creator Connection.

During a two-hour period, writers and artists will sit down and meet each other in a neutral environment. The room will be set up so that artists sit on one side of a set of tables and writers sit on the other. Every five minutes, all the writers in the room rotate to a new artist, while artists remain seated. If you’re interested in furthering the conversation you’ll have the opportunity to exchange contact information.

For more information on when and how to sign up, click here!

Gaming Creator Connection
NEW FOR 2018! WonderCon Anaheim is proud to introduce the Gaming Creator Connection. This is a unique opportunity for game developers to receive valuable insight and mentoring from seasoned veterans in the gaming industry.

The Gaming Creator Connection is the perfect opportunity to seek expert advice in one of three areas: art design, narrative, and business.

Interested in attending? Click here for more information on when and how to sign up!

Just got off the phone with Comic-Con.  The woman who answered said the WonderCon badges were just sent out (she couldn't say when) and that we should receive our WC badges by the 15th.

Can't wait. Still recovering from ECCC but already excited about Wondercon and seeing everyone.

It's hard to believe that we're so close! The full schedule will be released on Friday... and oh shoot, Friday is tomorrow! Where does the time go?

Honestly, since I'm solo this year, I hadn't planned on it. But if the programming Thursday afternoon isn't enticing, I may consider the 'after 4 pm' ticket.

Can you tell me where the link is to purchase tickets?  Thank you

WONDERCON ANAHEIM 2018 TOUCAN TIP OF THE DAY! #16: WonderCon Anaheim Programming Room Do's and Don'ts

While we patiently wait for the announcement of our complete WonderCon Anaheim 2018 Programming Schedule (pssst! we hear it’s coming out tomorrow!), let’s review some programming room do’s and don’ts to get you prepared for the event.

DO! Go see a panel you hadn’t planned on attending
WonderCon Anaheim is a great place for exploration and trying new things, so we encourage you to go see something you hadn’t planned on. Take advantage of the fact that we don’t clear programming rooms after each panel, and attend a panel before or after the one you have in mind. You might find a new favorite!

DO! Move into the row as far as you can
Most programming rooms fill up for each event, so please move all the way into the row and don’t leave any empty seats. Scooch down and make room for others.

DO! Ask about bathroom passes
Some programming rooms have them, others don’t! It’s a good idea to be aware of this in case you’re planning to spend most of the day in a certain programming room.

DO! Be courteous to your neighbors
We’re all there for the same reason! It’s best to be nice and remember that we’re all trying to enjoy ourselves and the event. Plus, you might just make a new friend!

DO! Wear your badge at all times
Make sure to display your badge proudly so security can see it. Please remember that all event and program rooms have limited capacity as set by the fire marshal. Even though your badge is needed to get into all events, it does not guarantee access to any event if the venue has reached its capacity.

DON'T! Leave right at 7:00 PM when the Exhibit Hall closes
Programming continues late on Friday and Saturday nights. Be sure to review the Programming Schedule when it's released to plan ahead. WonderCon Anaheim doesn't stop when the Exhibit Hall closes!

DON’T! Stand (or run!) in our programming rooms
Chances are if you’re standing in front of your seat, instead of sitting in it, you’re negatively impacting the experience of the people around you. Please take a seat. Also, remember there is no running in the programming rooms, lobby, Exhibit Hall, or outside the Anaheim Convention Center.

DON’T! Get in line if you’re not ready to sit down
Please remember that the line is for the ROOM, not the PANEL. If you’re in line, you must take a seat as soon as one becomes available. If you don’t want to enter the programming room and take a seat just yet, you’ll have to leave the line.

DON’T! Sit in reserved seats
Certain seats are reserved for a reason, and will be clearly marked. Please avoid sitting in them, as you’ll be asked to relocate to a different seat anyway.

DON’T! Try to remain in programming rooms after-hours, or overnight
While we don’t clear programming rooms between events or panels, we do clear them at the end of each day. It might be tempting, but camping out overnight in programming rooms is prohibited.

DON’T! Bring strollers
While we recognize how handy strollers are, they can also be a safety hazard. We ask you don’t bring strollers as they are not permitted in programming rooms. For your convenience, there is stroller parking provided at the Anaheim Convention Center; check the "Quick Guide" section in the Program Book onsite (and here online as we get closer to the show), for maps showing the locations.

Badges are available online only and will not be sold onsite at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Seeing how CCI runs both SDCC and WonderCon, can u expect stuff that is at wondercon be same at sdcc or do they try to change it some incase traffic expects things to not be same at every con? i know last year some place pulled out do to budget and all, so i guess reading news of wondercon may be a slight difference or change in what will be at sddcc this year.

So what do people think of the schedule? I was surprised not to see anything going on Friday morning. Saturday it looks like I'll be in the Arena for most of the day.
