RUNNING EVENTS

SaltCON has the opportunity for qualified individuals to run events for other attendees. These events must be presented to SaltCON staff and approved at least two weeks prior to the convention. Event approval will be subject to previous year's participation and the needs of the convention. The purpose of these events is to attract new attendees and to offer current attendees more gaming options during the convention.  This opportunity is not intended for representatives of game companies, but is intended for convention attendees who want to share their love of a game(s) with other attendees by hosting and teaching others to play that game. Examples of these events include RPG sessions, hosted games like Arkham Horror, hosted miniatures games in which the host brings the pieces for multiple players and allows others to learn with their pieces, etc...

If you would like to apply for a hosted event please fill out this <Event Proposal.docx Form> with the name of the event, your name and email address, your qualifications to run the event, a detailed description of the event, length of time of the event, how many of these events you will be hosting and what times you would like to run the event during the three day convention.  E-mail the form to volunteer@saltcon.com We will review your request and respond to you via email to let you know if your event has been selected for the 2013 convention.  We will then set up a sign-up sheet on the website so that people can sign-up for your event in advance.

To qualify for a reduced price ticket, $20 for the entire convention, you must run at least 6 hours of events throughout the convention.

To qualify for a free admission for the entire convention, you must run at least 6 hours of events on two separate days of the convention.
