Festival and Convention Server

Welcome to the grounds. Read #festival-rules, grab your interests in #interest-badges, then check #daily-programme.

Venue rules, photo consent, cosplay weapon policy and how to reach a steward.

Headline changes, hall moves, opening and closing. Organisers only.

The site map: halls, stages, entrances, toilets, first aid and the quiet room.

One pinned message per day with every stage, panel and signing. Edited by ops and stewards as things move.

Ticket types, entry times, wristbands, re-entry and what to bring to the gate.

Step-free routes, quiet room hours, hearing loops and how to request assistance.

Pick Cosplay, Tabletop, Card Games, Artist Alley or Live Music to get meetup pings for that interest.

Questions about the event. Stewards and volunteers answer; check the pinned answers first.

What is happening right now on each stage and hall, posted by stewards and volunteers.

Entrance, signing and food-court queue times, updated by the volunteers on the doors.

Weather, closures, evacuation notices and anything the ops team needs everyone to read now.

Lost something or found something? One message with what, where and when. Stewards hold found items at the info desk.

Open a ticket here for anything that needs a steward privately: access, medical, a conduct report.

Live reactions to whatever is on the Main Stage.

Questions for the panel in either room. Say which room; the moderator reads them in order.

Signing and photo-op times per guest, ticket requirements and the queue location.

Group shoots by series, time and location. Post the plan, then a thread in #meetup-board.

Photos of cosplay from the grounds. Credit the cosplayer and the photographer.

Open tables in the gaming hall: the game, seats left, which table.

Trades on the grounds. One message per want or offer; meet at the trading tables.

Artists post their table number, what they sell and when they are away from the table.

Set times, who was good, who to catch tomorrow.

One thread per meetup: what, where, when. Tag the interest so the right people get pinged.

What is worth the queue and what is not. Photos welcome.

Official and unofficial evening plans. Nothing that breaks #festival-rules.

Sharing taxis, spare hotel beds and lifts to the venue.

Photos from the weekend that are not cosplay. Ask before posting faces.

What you bought from the vendors and the artists.

Every vendor, their stand number and what they sell, posted by ops.

Vendors post their own offers, restocks and last-day discounts here. Attendees read.

Vendors, ops and stewards only: load-in, power, wifi, badge issues.

Read before your first shift: radio codes, who to escalate to, where the water is.

Volunteers and stewards. Questions, handovers, where the spare wristbands went.

Need to swap a shift? Post the slot; a steward confirms the swap.

Stewards and ops. Decisions that affect the whole site.

Written record of radio calls: time, who, what, outcome.

Incidents involving security or first aid. Facts only; no names in the open.

Accredited press and the Ops Lead: interview requests, embargoes, photo rules.

Vetox posts join, role and moderation logs here.

Invited guests, ops and stewards: your schedule, your handler, where to be and when.
