Another GM deadline is approaching at the end of the week, so here's a reminder
Highlights Due on Friday
Don’t forget: game and event highlights for use in both our
program book and on our web site are due Friday, May 2nd. I have
already received snippets from some of you but if you have yet to send in your
details please do so ASAP. If you anticipate a problem getting the material in
on time, please contact me directly so we can work out an appropriate
arrangement.
This text is not required,
nor it is simply the descriptions you provided for your events when you
submitted them. This is your opportunity to talk about your company or group’s overall event program, talk about the
cool stuff you’re doing and generally get a bit more exposure overall. It is
not simply a list of events and game IDs.
Submitted text will be used in the program book as well as
on our web
site. Here are some general guidelines and stipulations for event highlight
text.
- All highlights are due May
2nd, 2008
- Email your highlights to events@gencon.com and include your
text as an .rtf or .doc attachment.
- Highlights should be
approximately 300 words or fewer. Companies/groups with a large number of
events to cover may be granted an exception, on a case-by-case basis.
- Do not simple list all your
events and game IDs. Highlights should be used to highlight and promote
special events or programs. You can provide game IDs for sample events but
use this as an opportunity to talk about your overall event program
instead of just reiterating your event description.
- Please include a
print-quality (300-dpi) logo for your company or gaming group, if you have
one.
Submissions that fail to meet these guidelines may be edited
or simply returned to you for correction.
As always, if you have any questions, concerns or problems,
please let me know. Feel free to email or call me directly.
