Updates on authors for NOLA
Hey all. I have been getting some odd emails about "author acceptance" for NOLA. I figured I would post about it here, to clear the air.
Author acceptance only happens once you have registered and gotten the acceptance email.
The Acceptance email states what we are looking for in featured authors. to date we have sent out 53 emails, and received 8 back. that is a HUGE difference. If you have registered as an author you got an email with the information.
Once you are accepted as a Featured Author, you will get links to Panel stuff, Book info and other information. This is the ONLY way you will be able to sign and be on panels.
So PLEASE... check your email if you have already registered. Odds are you have missed an email.

Room updates... the final ONE!
CROSS POSTED FROM THE AAD FORUM:
Looked at the POG a few minutes ago.
they have yet to add the 7th and 13th to the list. Once they do we will be sending the link for the pog out to those REGISTERED, and the link will ONLY work through the registration email portal. DO NOT give the link to anyone outside of your registration email, BECAUSE
A: it will only work for YOU and ONCE.
B: We are attempting to make sure Only Registered people get rooms so we wont have the issues we had THIS year with people NOT attending the con using the room block.
THIS YEAR, YOU MUST BE ON MY RESERVATIONS LIST VIA THE ONLINE POG IN ORDER TO GET THE ROOM RATE. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Info on AAD room reservations
Hey Everyone.
Thought I would clear the air...
PLEASE do not call and make a room reservation. it will not count towards our room block. The only way the rooms will count towards the block is to do it through the online POG (which we will be sending out the link via the registered list as soon as its open).
This past year we had 7 rooms credited to our room block that weren't rooms of people registered for the con, and that caused issues, and had people staying at other hotels. We are attempting to make sure that doesn't happen, so that is why the POG is so important.
Oh and FYI, After speaking to our Conference Liaison yesterday, we were told we had no rooms reserved to our block... and today I hard from three people that they reserved their rooms already... so those rooms wouldn't have been credited because they weren't counting them towards it, regardless of what they said at the front desk.
So if you have reserved a room already by phone PLEASE CALL AND cancel it and wait for the POG. this will ensure you get a room in the room block, for the right price and it wont be canceled because the numbers dont match up.
Thanks guys! POG info should be up today or tomorrow... so check your Emails!
