Zenkaikon V Pre-Registration and Hotel Room Block Now Open!

Aired: May 23rd, 2010



VALLEY FORGE, PENNSYLVANIA — May 22, 2010: The Zenkaikon staff is pleased to announce the opening of pre-registration for Zenkaikon V, as well as a room block for convention attendees in the Scanticon Hotel Valley Forge. Pre-registration includes new benefits for both standard and VIP members.

Zenkaikon Pre-Registration

For the first time this year, all pre-registered members will be able to pick up their convention badges on the Thursday evening before the convention. “We hope this new benefit will give our members even more time to enjoy convention events, as they will be able to walk right in when the doors open on Friday,” says Convention Chair Matilda Madden. Pre-registrants will also get a significant discount on their membership cost, and may be entered into special contests only available to pre-registered attendees.

Due to popular demand, Zenkaikon V is also introducing a new and improved VIP Membership. VIP memberships will only be available to fifty attendees, and include a number of additional benefits. Benefits include a special convention badge, a VIP T-shirt, early Friday access to the Dealer room, priority seating for Main Events, and priority check-in on Thursday evening. “We received a lot of feedback and suggestions on our forums regarding ways to improve our VIP memberships this year. We listened, and hope our members will be excited by this new opportunity,” says Head of Communications Kristyn Souder.
