When will the schedule grid/Pocket Program be out?

Short answer: We don't know.

Long answer: The programming and publication folks continue to make updates and changes down to the wire to get you the most accurate information before going to press. That means that the official schedule—and therefore the Pocket Program and schedule grid—is typically not available until a week(ish!) before the convention itself. But you can be assured that the moment it's available, we'll post and announce it everywhere. To make sure you get our updates as soon as we post them, be sure to follow @Daily_Dragon on Twitter.

Helpful hint: If you're about to pop and need a scheduling fix now, Garand70 does a great job assembling a tentative schedule for the Dragon*Con Wiki from the ones posted on the individual track websites.

[*Obligatory disclaimer: The Dragon*Con Wiki is not an official publication of Dragon*Con. The convention makes no assurances, guarantees, or promises as to the accuracy, reliability, or validity of the information contained within it.]

Can you get X guest? Is Y guest coming? Did Z guest cancel?

We're not privy to convention-guest negotiations, so if we haven't announced it and the guest isn't on the guest list on the Dragon*Con main site, we don't know/can't say/have no secrets to share.

But we will announce any guest additions, cancellations, or updates as soon as we hear anything. Swear! To make sure you get our updates as soon as we post them, be sure to follow @Daily_Dragon on Twitter.

How do I find out what programming changed?

In addition to all programming changes being updated automatically in the mobile app:

• The Daily Dragon publishes a print issue every day of the convention with programming changes. Look for these at the Information Booths and Registration areas of the convention.
• A PDF of each print issue will be published in the mobile app under "Daily Dragon" from the Dashboard and can also be downloaded from the Daily Dragon website.
• We tweet changes in real-time to our Twitter account: @Daily_Dragon
• We publish and update a complete list of changes during the convention on the Daily Dragon website.
• We partner with DCTV to announce schedule changes on the Late Show, which broadcasts every morning from 9 to 9:30AM in all of the host hotels. The list of DCTV channels is on the Daily Dragon website and can also be found under "Show Documents" in the app once we have them finalized from the hotels.
• And there's a Late Show podcast for anyone who misses the initial broadcast.

You're welcome.

Can I pick up the badge for my spouse/offspring/friend/etc. in registration?

To be able to pick up someone else's Dragon*Con membership badge, you need a
copy of their government issued photo ID, their bar-coded confirmation postcard, and a signed permission slip from that person which reads something to the effect of: "I, Sally Fangirl, give my permission to John Fanboy to pick up my badge."

I lost/found something at Dragon*Con, how can I get it back/what do I do with it?

If you've lost or found something at the convention, stop by Dragon*Con Security in Room M101 (Marriott). If that doesn't bring about a successful reunion, email the Daily Dragon and we'll announce and post it on our Lost & Found page.

Will you announce my party or event?

Sure! So long as your party or event:

• Is free/not for profit (you can't charge for admission).
• Is hosted by Dragon*Con members for Dragon*Con members.
• Is held at a Dragon*Con venue (i.e., in a host hotel or other sanctioned Dragon*Con location).
• Occurs during Dragon*Con (or in the lead-up to it).

All good? Use the online Party/Event Announcement Request form before the convention or come to Daily Dragon headquarters in the Chicago room of the Hyatt during the convention to fill out a paper request form, or print out and bring this PDF version.

We may email you with questions for clarification. Publication is at the sole discretion of the Daily Dragon.
