Changes for 2011: This year, our group tables, both Fan and Convention, will again be located in the Hyatt Regency, outside the Grand Hall. The Hyatt's Grand Hall will again host our Art Show and our Comics Artists Alley.
Group/Fan Tables are available for fan groups, conventions, clubs, etc. to showcase themselves. These tables are free, but they are limited in number and must be reserved in advance. Please see below for the rules regarding tables and staffing.
Our onsite coordinator for fan tables will be Sara McCorkendale. If you have specific questions, she can be reached at informationservices @dragoncon.org.
The Hyatt Concourse
The area in the Hyatt known as "The Concourse" now consists of the two floors below the hotel's lobby, through which most traffic to the ballrooms and panel rooms must pass. Several things will be located on these two floors:
- Convention Information Kiosk
(at the foot of the escalators down from the lobby)
- Concourse Performance Area, for acoustic and electronic performers
(outside Centennial Ballroom I)
- Fan-tables (lower level, outside the Hyatt's Grand Hall)

Concourse Performance Area
This tiled area, outside the Hyatt's Centennial Ballroom I, will be used for smaller-scale performances by bands and acoustic performers. The band Emerald Rose has kindly donated their sound-system and stage personnel for our use. Many thanks to Emerald Rose for their continuing support!
This year, we'll continue our highly-successful practice of listing band performances in the convention schedule, with bands being booked in advance where possible and listed on the website.

Requesting a Fan Table
We are no longer accepting applications for Dragon*Con 2011. Please apply again next year between February 1st and July 1st. Thank you for your interest and we hope to work with you in the future.
Thanks! Sara McCorkendale, Fan Tables Director
As last year, Convention Tables will need to share in order to maximize our space; please specify on the application if there is another Convention group you would prefer to share with.
Currently Fan Tables will once again be located in the Hyatt Regency on the Grand Hall level. We may also have space once again in the Sheraton outside of Registration. The Marriott Marquis will once again be Bands and Performance groups, so please do not ask to be placed there. The committee will be making placement decisions before the Con, so please feel free to include your requests to be located near other groups or for placement in the Sheraton if space becomes available in your on-line applications. Requests do not guarantee a placement, but will be taken into consideration.

Rules and Guidelines For Tables
Yep, we have some rules. Here they are:
- Tables must be staffed by Dragon*Con members. In other words: yes, you'll need you will need badges!
- Table staffing hours:
- Fan-tables must be continuously staffed during the day, from 10am until 8pm at a minimum. On Monday, plan on staffing your table until 2 or 3pm.
- In deference to our dealers and exhibitors, who pay for the privilege, no general merchandise sales are permitted at fan tables or band tables. You can sell logo merchandise from your organization and other items made exclusively for and by your club, band or organization. Dragon*Con does not charge a percentage of merchandise sales.
- No raffles or other games of chance are allowed. Sorry, but they contravene the laws of the State of Georgia.
- Electrical power:
- Be sure to bring your own extension cords and splitters.
- Power in the Hyatt for tables has historically been available at most locations on the Concourse at no charge.
- If you need Internet access at your table, you'll have to arrange this with the individual hotel. Although our host hotels offer wireless access in guest rooms, this service is usually restricted or blocked in the lobby and function-space areas.
- Table placement will be at the sole discretion of the respective Concourse directors or their assistants. We'll work with you as much as possible, but we can make no promises.
