2021 Registration Confirmation for 2020 Registrants
MattTheMinion replied to UzumakiWarlord's topic in Otakon 2021
We are planning to resend event confirmations for Otakon 2021 registrations likely around November of this year. It's a matter of balancing timing of the reminder so it's not too far away from next year's event. Almost everyone who did not ask for a refund has already been rolled into 2021, we still have a few records to transfer over. -
Major "Cons" postponed or canceled
MattTheMinion replied to Daniel Perales's topic in General Chit-Chat
Since I have been summoned... 😛 In very broad strokes membership income makes up about 70% of our income, cutting it back to 1/4 of this would be unworkable. A restriction in attendance would also drop the other 30% of our income as there would be fewer vendors, merch sales, advertisements, and so on. Could we run an Otakon on 25-30% of our expected budget, not really. The combination of the annual day-to-day expenses eat up a large portion of what's left (for example material storage, internet things, legal support), and as we already run those aspects pretty thin there isn't much t -
Hi Matt...For Fruit Basket autographs its saying on twitter retweet that you have to buy a DVD in order to have first come first serve chance to get an autograph with the any of the cast members. Is there going to be some other arrangement where your can either get an autograph or something like that? Down know? Thanks

I believe they are putting together an announcement/update to clarify how the autographs are going to work for these autographs as it seems there is a bit of confusion on them.

Thank you Matt. I did see the new posting of the autographs. Than you for your help. I still believe that this is very unfair to the membership that Funimation placed DVD purchase conditions on autographs so close to the convention. The opportunity appears for Funimation to sell many DVD’s over the 50 meet opportunities offered. While other talent will offer the usual autograph opportunities. If we look at it on behalf of the members who can’t afford to buy the $64 dvd, we see how unfair this was to exclude them from getting an autograph with their favorite celebrity. The talent should be available in some way at some point to all the members.

Hey Matt, Can you add my daughter's account to the staff web boards. Her ID is ekusterer. She's in publications, name Emily Kusterer. Thanks!

Matt, where was that statement you made with the numbers for pre-reg? I can not remember at all, and couldn't find it when I went to quote it. At least, I think it was you and not Nick?

Hey Matt,
Did you (and the rest of the Board) see Jen's post on Facebook which was also supposedly sent to the BoD? It sounds like she has something huge in the works for today and wants Otakon's support in it. I like Flury's post in that Facebook thread.
