MiniCon Timetable

by JM

This weekend, Saturday August 4 to Sunday August 5, is the first Conflux Virtual Mini-con. 23 members and guests from Conflux 4 will be appearing in the forum area of the website to have a chat with whoever wants to come along. Entry to the forums is free – just sign in, jump into a forum and start chatting with the guest there.

If you come along to the forum, you’ll be eligible to win one of ten lucky door prizes (given out at random times). There will also be a lounge area (the virtual equivalent of the bar) where you can drop in and chat with whoever’s hanging around.

Also, people coming to the mini-con will be eligible for a special price for the actual con - $145 (a saving of $45 on the current price of $190). You’ll be able to download the form once you’ve signed in for the forums and it needs to be sent back to us by August 11.

I hope you’ll be able to spend some time with us and have fun having a chat.

    Why was I not told this earlier? :) That’s awesome. I’ll have to stay up until 1am then.
