LeakyCon 2012
Chicago, Illinois. The Hilton Chicago
!Welcome! [  ]

If you're here, chances are you'll be attending LeakyCon 2012! (If not, maybe next year?)

First and foremost, I would like to clearify that this blog is not the official LeakyCon Tumblr, and that I am just an attendee trying to help others out with as much as I can from my past experience at LeakyCon 2011.

The entire purpose of this blog is for Tumblr Users attending LeakyCon to have a space to meet one another, make friends and ask (me) questions!

There's a big list of people who are attending, to add your name to this list, just send me a message with your 1. Name, 2. Type of registration and 3. Your URL!

If LeakyCon 2012 is your first con, this blog might be super helpful for you! I made a list of items that you should think about bringing, as well as how to best organize your time so you can participate in all the things LeakyCon has to offer.

Feel free to ask me any questions you'd like, I'm here to help! :)
Is there anyway I can be a photographer for LeakyCon? There's an answer on the Q&A page that says "you may be asked to sign a waiver. Or to join our photography staff!" ... is that second part a joke or...?
ASKED BY beautiful-thorn

I don’t think it’s a joke. If you go on their Facebook page you’ll see they have many photo albums of events that happened throughout the week. The people who took the photos were probably part of their Photography Staff. If you want to be one of the people wandering around taking photos, then you can contact them about that.

If you aren’t part of the photography staff that they’re talking about, and you’re just taking photos for yourself then the waiver may be to let you have access to certain parts of the con that everyone else doesn’t have. More like a “Press Pass” There were a few people with this type of badge, they got to go into the signing rooms before everyone else and take photos, ask questions, basically what the press do.

I think it all just depends on what you want to do with the photos, take photos for the Leaky Staff to post later on, be more of a Press guest because you’re working for a paper/blog/website. You’ll have to explain to them what you want to do and they’ll tell you what you’ll have to do from there.
