NORTH BUILDING AT McCORMICK PLACE
NORTH BUILDING AT McCORMICK PLACE
Tips and Tricks For C2E2
The Basics: Comfortable shoes. Hand
sanitizer. Aspirin. Phone charger. Anything not covered here surely will be
in our FAQ
section.
Show Planner & Mobile:
First thing you should do after you memorize the
FAQs, is make sure you follow me on Twitter
@LFensterman and the official show account
@C2E2 then
download the
Official C2E2 Mobile App. It works on pretty much
any device or platform and has all the info about
Guests, Exhibitors, Artist Alley, Panels, Autographing
Info, etc that you'll need for C2E2. Then use
this handy Show Planner to create your own custom
schedule for the con. It's fairly awesome.
McCormick Locale:
Folks, this is a big building. In fact it's 4 big
buildings. It's a damn campus. We keep messing with you
because every year we have been in a different one. This
year it's the NORTH BUILDING. You'll probably enter off
of MLK Drive, walk in the main entrance, go up some
escalators and the magic forest of C2E2 will be in your
left. Check out the
North Building Overview here.
Panels, Screenings &
Autographing: The biggest Panels at C2E2 are
happening in the IGN Theater, located in Room S100
on Level 1 of McCormick right after you come in the
front doors.
Check out the IGN Theater schedule here. The
rest of the Panels & Screenings are happening up on
Level 4. Be sure to
check out the full schedule here so you don't miss
what you wanna check out. If Autographs are what you're
after, head over the to
Autographing page for all those deets.
The Nerd Express:
Last year a lot of you rode our free shuttle from The
Loop so this year we are adding more stops at key L
stations in The Loop. The shuttle is totally free and
runs all day long all 3 days; the
schedule is right here. Get on the Nerd Express!
Also, the closest L stop is Cermak-Chinatown on the Red
Line. It's a bit of a hike to McCormick, but the fresh
air will do you good and the exercise will help stave
off any con funk.
The CBR Bar: Once
again our pals at CBR are laying claim to the coolest
place in the show, the CBR Bar in the Hyatt attached to
McCormick Place. Last year every night after the con the
place was jammed with Fans, Creators, Publishers, Media
and yes, the entire ReedPOP Staff lived there. Plus
themed drinks, what's not to love.
Details here.
Meet The ReedPOP Team:
Wanna ask ReedPOP Staff a question? Make a suggestion?
Lodge a complaint? Propose to marry me? Yes, for the
first time a few of us will be on a stage working
without a net or the aid of teleprompters. It's all
going down
Sunday at 3:45 PM in Room S402ab.
