BCinDC & the 2011 Convention

Author Archive

We can’t wait to tell you all about the many adventures the convention-planning committee members have in store for our BookCrossing friends during the 2011 Convention in Washington, D.C. But there’s way too much to share all at once, so we have created an Adventure Series of blog posts. Each Wednesday you will learn more about an activity, location, or other nifty aspect of the convention or location. Subscribe to our blog to get the posts sent directly to your e-mail or just check back here each week. With so many things to see and do in the Washington, D.C., area, how will you Choose Your Own BookCrossing Journey?

See the full list of blog posts in the series on the Adventure Series page.

We have a brand new discussion forum: http://bcindc.proboards.com/

Once you register yourself there, you can use it to ask questions, discuss your plans, talk about books, and even find a roommate for the convention. We may be adding categories to it as the convention grows, so check back regularly.

We here at BCinDC have been very busy these last few weeks. The biggest change you’ll see, of course, is that convention registration is now open! With that comes a brand new registration FAQ page, plus several additions to the general convention FAQ.

Other new goodies:

• See who you’ll be meeting at the convention on the attendees page!
• Download goodies – printable labels and cards, as well as badges for your blog or bookshelf!
• Get a sneak peek at the convention schedule (subject to change, of course)!
• Reserve your hotel room at the convention venue!
• Meet your convention planning committee!
• Get convention news via email!

Stay tuned for more and we’ll see you in April!

In keeping with the Choose Your Own BookCrossing Journey theme, these add-ons are optional extras to enhance your convention experience. These include convention shirts/sweatshirts, raffle tickets, meal vouchers, early bird activities, convention activity choices (the ones that require reservations), and the hanger-on dinner. Be sure to check the convention schedule to see all the fun things we’re planning and to decide what items and activities you would like.

Check out all the extras and submit your choices on this page: http://www.bcindc.zoiks.org/?page_id=293

You heard it here first: you can now register for the 2011 BookCrossing Convention! You can also reserve a room at our convention venue hotel, the Sheraton Crystal City Hotel. Be sure to check the Convention section of our website for FAQs, goodies, and much more.

We hope to have the add-ons/extras form up this weekend as well, so if you register now or subscribe to our list, you will be the first to be able to Choose Your BookCrossing Journey!
