REGISTRATION & PRICING
*** OPENING IN JULY, 2013 ***
Surrender is a weekend long, hotel based convention. Your registration fees include all our classes, workshops, special events, parties and access to the playspaces. Registration does NOT include accomodations or food. The convention will open Friday afternoon and run through Monday morning. You do NOT have to book a room at the hotel to attend the event. Many people commute each day and there is street parking, local lots, public transportation and onsite parking for $20/day. The Hotel is a proven scene friendly hotel located in downtown San Francisco on Van Ness Avenue.
Hotel Rooms
We will be taking all 20,000 square feet of ballroom space the hotel has to offer so there will be plenty of room for our workshops, special event and parties. As a nationally known hotel chain, they offer all the expected amenities including a roof top pool, gym, restaurant, bar, etc and almost 500 rooms. Unfortunately, with so many rooms we will not have the entire hotel, but our ballroom space is easily cordoned off from the rest of the hotel and we will have a great social area on the lower ballroom level in addition to our playspaces and classrooms.
We have a 200 room block that is going to sell out fast. We have an amazing rate of $139/night but there is a 2 night (Fri & Sat) minimum stay. The playspace will be open all Sunday night so we suggest staying 3 nights and checking out on Monday. For those of you traveling from outside the bay area you can extend the $139 rate up to 3 days before and 3 days after the event and actually get some site seeing in while you're in the Bay Area.
In order to ensure everyone's privacy all hotel accommodations must be placed through Dark Odyssey. For detailed information please visit our Hotel page. When you register online, you will be asked if you'd like a hotel room and other related information. Our Hotel Coordinator will take it from there and work with you via email if needed. Your room reservation status in listed in the Attendees area where eventually we will place your confirmation number when its received back from the hotel in a few weeks.
Day Passes
Day Passes are confusing, problematic and basically a giant pain in the ass for everyone. Currently we are only offering full weekend passes and the early registration rates are about the same price as day pass rates would be anyway. We hope you will register early and take advantage of as much time at the convention as your schedule will allow. We wont know if there will be room for day pass people until the last few weeks before the event.
