Registration & Pricing

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 accommodations 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 onsite parking for $15/day (no in/out) for day trippers and a similar $15/day for hotel guests with full in/out privileges.  The Hotel is a proven scene friendly hotel located in San Jose near the airport.

Covid Protocol

We take Covid very seriously. Below is our current Covid protocol. As we all know, best practices regarding Covid shift rapidly and we will do our best to implement the best practices of the moment when the event takes place.

All attendees must:

    • Test NEGATIVE at Registration upon arrival (Rapid Antigen Self Test aka Home Kit)
    • Masks Mandatory at Registration (Until your negative test results are complete)

NOTE: Test Kits will NOT be provided. You must bring your own.  Testing is only mandatory on your arrival day at the event.  Daily testing is recommended but not mandatory and daily badge stickers will be available. 

Too much testing for you?? — Please stay home!!
(Seriously, do not register if you can not agree to the above terms.)

Our Private Space

Surrender will be taking all 50,000 square feet of ballroom and meeting space the hotel has to offer so there will be plenty of room for our workshops, special event and parties. We are moving the workshops to the largest ballrooms, spreading out the chairs, and not allowing rooms to become overcrowded. We have lots of outdoor spaces available around the hotel to socialize. We even moved the convention up by several weeks in hopes of warmer weather … who knows … bring your swimsuit they have a great pool and Jacuzzi !

Host Hotel Rooms 

Having a room in the host hotel is a must have for those quick costume changes, mid-day naps, or private get-aways with a special friend.  Plus you can stay up each night till the bitter end and just run downstairs in your bunny slippers to classes the next morning … yeah we’re not kidding. 

Overflow Hotel Rooms

There are several nearby hotels only a short uber trip away.  Once the host hotel sells out we will release information on any negotiated room blocks that are available. 

Day Passes

Day Passes are confusing, problematic and basically a giant pain in the ass for everyone. Based on registration fill, we will make the final decision to release day passes about 2 weeks before the convention. However we suggest that early registration rates are almost as economical as day passes if they are released.
