Registration

As some of you have been realizing, I’m sorry to say that registration for ROFLCon is officially CLOSED. As we’ve been mentioning, our max capacity over at MIT is about 500, so we gotta make sure we have room for guests, press, and, of course, your incredibly gorgeous and talented conference staff.

If you haven’t gotten in yet– no fear — there’s still a few choice opportunities to get in on the festivities in a month (!) or so. Stay tuned for special offers for admission for help on the blog. In addition, if there’s any leftover slots after we account for everyone else, we’ll open registration for the final few regs left. It’ll only be a few offers, in any case, so keep your eyes peeled!

Pre-Registration is $40 for student* and $80 for general registration.

In general THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS, please read the refund policy during the registration system carefully.

To register click the link below to be taken to Harvard’s secure system for conference registration:

SIGN ME UP!

Anyone who partook in the super-early-bird-special-discount program, or who is eligible for free registration (panelists, press, etc.) should ping tim (at) roflcon (dot) org

* don’t get any ideas… current school id will need to be presented when you check in.

Even Students that arent in colledge yet, I.E. High School Students?

Tim Hwang
Comment on January 25th, 2008.

Yep — though be warned that age might potentially be a limiter on your access to the Party of the Internet on Saturday night since it’ll be at a bar (though we’re working it so that the music show should be all ages).

Comment on January 25th, 2008.

Hey! I kind of srsly don’t want to miss this, but I’m from Sweden. Will I be let in? I study in Stockholm, but we don’t use school ID’s here. I will be 21 in September. Thx!

Elin: Most definitely — wouldn’t want you to miss out on the event. Once you’re registered on our system, just shoot an e-mail to roflcon@gmail.com and we’ll make sure you get in.

Whiskers: Will do! Haven’t even started thinking about next year yet, but we’ll keep it in mind!

Nothing just yet, the ROFLCon team’s actively scouting around Cambridge as I type this to find a good place to negotiate some housing deals. We’ll post as soon as the details come in.

Is there a hotel block booked for the con with group rates and such? It’s gettin’ around hotel booking time.

This could of course be expanded into a “where to stay / where to eat / etc. page.

I second the Indiana request. Also, it’s at the end of my dead week. I would love discussions on this. especially from a sociological and psychological point of view.

Is there a way to pay via mail or in person? I don’t have a credit card. Guess I could just get one of the prepaid ones in worst case scenario

Tim Hwang
Comment on February 24th, 2008.

Sure — just drop an e-mail to tim AT roflcon.org and I’ll get you the deets.

Since it says “Current school ID”, what if my ID has no year on it?

Any updates on hotel info?

Beth
Comment on April 1st, 2008.

TIM- I didn’t register in time!
I live in the Cambridge area and was wondering if there is any kind of wait list I can be put on if additional spots open? Or how I can get into any of this? I should’ve jumped at the chance earlier….

Tyler Clark

I would also like to know about wait lists. I’m with the Communication, Culture, and Technology program at Georgetown. We just found out about the conference, and would love to send a contingent.

Tim Hwang
Comment on April 3rd, 2008.

Yep — Beth and Tyler, we’ve got you on the waitlist. Info to come in the next week or so…

Beth
Comment on April 3rd, 2008.

Thank you Tim!

Comment on April 4th, 2008.

Tim, I emailed you the other day. Wanted to post on here too to make sure I get on a wait list. I’d really love to live blog this event for my site.

Comment on April 4th, 2008.

There’s a handful of betahouse folks that didn’t get in on time to register. We could really use 3-4 tickets.

Will lol 4 tix.

Comment on April 5th, 2008.

I would also like to be on the waiting list! If there is no way to get into the conference because of capacity issues, is there a way to at least get into the party Saturday? I am so mad at myself for not registering earlier!

Brian
Comment on April 6th, 2008.

I’d love to get on the waitlist too if you have one!

Comment on April 6th, 2008.

Anonymous does not require a reservation. We will be there to bring justice to this piece of shit convention. Watch out for us. We WILL be there.

Is there an actual age limit?

Tim Hwang
Comment on April 15th, 2008.

Nope — no effective age limit. Though peeps younger than 18 should be advised that there might be some problems getting into the after hours party on Saturday.

Comment on April 16th, 2008.

I just saw the ad for this in the Weekly Dig… Put me on the list of people unlikely to get in, but would still like to go.

Tanya
Comment on April 16th, 2008.

Thanks! Could I also have two spots on the waitlist?

Oh noes! I just found out about this conference and I go to MIT….hmm how observant am I? I would love to be put on the waitlist if there still is one.
