Registration for Vidukon 2013 is now live! Register here.

Vidukon will be taking place on the 18th and 19th of May in Cardiff.

Attending Registration is £40.

Additional registration options:

+ Saturday night dinner - this year at the hotel restaurant, a carvery buffet with vegetarian options.
+ a 'plus one' ticket for the Saturday night that includes dinner and the Premieres show
+ a spot at the Vid Bazaar for anyone who would like to sell relevant items eg a DVD of their vids.

Non-attending registration is £16 for anyone who is unable to make it but would like to support the con. You will receive a copy of the premieres DVD and the con programme after the event.

Hotel Details:

The con hotel is Future Inns in Cardiff Bay. More details about room rates, facilities and so on can be found at the Vidukon website.

We've reserved a block of rooms - to book one of these, mention that you're attending the Vidukon convention when you book. This option is available until April 17th. The room prices for these reserved rooms are as follows. You can have up to 4 people per room for a small additional fee.

17th May - £74 B&B single occupancy or £83 B&B double occupancy
18th May - £79 B&B single occupancy or £88 B&B double occupancy

Accessibility:

There are wheelchair-accessible rooms available at the hotel, and step-free access to the con rooms.

Our full accessibility policy is still being written and will be made available soon, including information about content notes for vid shows. If you have specific questions or concerns about any access issue, please contact the con at concom@vidukon.co.uk

Programming:

A post will go up shortly for people to discuss and brainstorm ideas for what vidshows and panels they'd like to see at the con. Programming is reliant on the efforts of attendees, so if you have an idea for something you'd like to organise, email us at concom@vidukon.co.uk.

If you can't attend but would like to put something together, let us know too! We'll give priority to registered attendees but it's certainly possible to put together a vid show remotely, and if anyone wants to Skype in a panel or something, that could be awesome.

There'll be a Premieres vid show on Saturday for brand new vids. If you'd like to submit a vid to that, whether you're attending or not, please do! The deadline to do so is March 31st. More detailed information about vid submission will be available shortly.

eta: on March 17th registration price increases to £52. Registration closes on April 14th. For registration queries, please contact registration@vidukon.co.uk

Will a hotel share post go up closer to the date as well? And a volunteering post? I'd like to help out.

Also, thank you for organising this, guys. I am so excited!

[such_heights]

Good suggestions both! Yes, I'll sort that out.

Maybe I'm being dense and not noticing, but when do you guys close registration? I'd enjoy coming, but I also don't want to commit right now, because I have no idea where I'll be in May. (tho' I expect it is indeed the UK)

[such_heights]

Good question! I'm not sure we have an exact closing date but it'll be pretty close to the event itself and we're not anticipating selling out. The hotel block room booking is reserved until April 17th, though you should be able to still book in after that I should think. (I will gladly save a space in my room for you if you like, while you decide!)

So, no panic, essentially.

Registrations close on April 14th officially. but note the registration fees will be raised to 52 pounds on March 17th.

Also note that if you register and can't come, your registration will automatically switch to a non-attending membership and you will receive your premiere DVD at home.

If you need any more info and wanna discuss your situation and if something can be worked out at some point, don't hesitate to email me at registration@vidukon.co.uk

Hey guys - I'd like to come, but I'm not sure right now! Is it possible for me to register now and pass my registration to someone else if I can't make it?

[such_heights]

That should be doable, yes, but there's no rush to sign up - we're not anticipating selling out. If we do get close to that for some reason we'll definitely let people know.

[raven]

Thanks! The last con I signed up for was Muskrat Jamboree and I think I'm kind of stuck in a mindset of MUST SIGN UP NOW NOW oops.

[cesy]

I am not yet sure if I'll be able to make that weekend, so have booked non-attending for now.

Just registering now and noticing that the page hasn't been updated with the info of programming on Friday as well ;)

eta: OK, so I'm at the registration page and when I click on the "To register for the convention, click here", nothing happens. I tried on my iPad as well, still nothing, so I doubt it's my computer causing it.

[buffyann]

Hello,

I'm sorry you're having trouble registering. I'll try to help. You're the first person to have such an issue, so let me ask you the basics first: what browser are you using ? Do you have any issue with other pages or does the site work well for you otherwise ?

Thank you :)

[goodbyebird]

I've tried in both IE and Firefox(and on the iPad), and when I click the link nothing happens. As far as I can tell the site works apart from that.

[buffyann]

Our website queen fixed some stuff, could you retry ? It should be ok now.

[goodbyebird]

It went through perfectly, thanks so much <3
