Where do I pick up my badge?

Regular members pick up their badges at the pre-registration desks. Guests of Honor will be given theirs. Program participants pick up their badges at the pre-registration desks and then will be instructed to go to the Green Room to pick up their program materials. Dealers will be able to pick up their badges from Larry Smith in the Dealers' Room. If dealers have helpers, they need to notify us at reg@chicon.org so that we can put their helpers badges with theirs.

Convention Registration is at the Ballroom Level of the East Tower of the Hyatt, if you get lost, ask for the convention registration desk. Do Not Pass GO without getting your registration materials.

What do I need to pick up my memberships?

You will need a photo ID. It will also be helpful to bring your copy of PR7, as that will give us your membership number. Parents can pick up badges for their children living at the same address. You can NOT pick up badges for friends.

What if I am getting a membership transferred?

If you get a membership from someone else by August 25th, the transfer can be arranged via email. We need to receive a message at a verifiable email address from the person transferring the membership, indicating you as the person to receive it. After August 25th, NO email transfers will be processed. They MUST be done at the door. At the door, we will require a letter or fax with the signature of the person transferring the membership. Printouts of email messages WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

The ability to turn in "Chicago in 2000" trading cards to convert to attending expired at the end of 1998.

• If you want child care, you MUST sign up in advance. State regulations limit the number of children per provider, so we must know how many providers to hire and we can not overload them at the last minute.

• If you are handicapped and need to rent a scooter, you MUST let us know in advance. We need to reserve this equipment and have a specific number of scooters needed.

• If you are hearing impaired and would like a sign language interpreter at specific events, we MUST know in advance that you are coming and get some idea of your program interests. This will allow us to get enough interpreters and attempt to schedule them as efficiently as possible.

• If you have any other special needs or requests, you MUST let us know in advance. There are many things we can do to try to accommodate you, but we must have advance notice and time to work on them.

• If you want a badge name other than the first and last name your membership is under, you MUST write or email us by 7/15/00 (preferably earlier) and let us know what badge name you want. If you ask for a badge name at the door, you will have to wait while the badge is recreated and there will be delays.
