Do we know yet a general idea of the con schedule?  I'm mainly curious to know if the festivities cover all of Friday and Sunday, or only part of those days(like say, the con ending around 4pm on Sunday, or going until late evening, etc.)

 

Basically I'm trying to decide if I need the hotel room only until Sunday or if I should do check-out on Monday...

 

Edit: Actually nevermind!  I found the answer on the registration page for the con.  I really should have looked at it more closely.

 

Starts 10am on Friday, and ends 6pm on Sunday.

WILL there be a stream of the event? since im in the EU the times might be screwed up but i will totaly watch it if you stream it. and you really should stream the event

 

I believe the Opening Ceremonies and the BABSCon hosted Goldie Awards will be streamed but if you really want to experience the con and see the whole thing you'll have to come see us!

What's in the swag bag?

 

This thread is actually about BABSCon 2014 which was two years ago so the packages have changed a bit, but there is a swag bag again this year. Last year's bag included a T-Shirt, a pin, a lanyard, and of course a BABSCon tote bag to put it all in. :D  This year's will likely be similar. You can check out this year's packages here: https://registration.babscon.com/registration/register.php
