Genius Lounge Sign-ups

[escapade_team]

The Escapade Genius Lounge is open for sign-ups. As in years past, people who Know Things volunteer to show people who Don’t Know Things how to use social media tools, e-readers, and computer technology.

Are you a mistress of Pinterest? Tumblr? Are you a vidder willing to share your tricks of the trade? Do you know other new social media platform(s) or tools like mention.com to find out where your fandom is playing? This is your opportunity for you to share what you know with other fans who really want to learn. You will be able to select the hour(s) you’d like to volunteer after you have seen the panel schedule, so you won’t miss any con event you want to attend.

If you would like to volunteer, please email Ellie at ellie@escapadecon.net and tell her what you feel proficient at. (Remember, many fans are Luddites and will be grateful if you show them where the “login” button is. You’re probably more of a genius than you think.)

Ellie will contact you after the panel schedule is posted, and help you decide what sign-up hours to choose.

Escapade Buzz!

[escapade_team]

We want to make sure that everyone gets the word about how much fun there is to be had at Escapade, and why they should come. So, we’re turning to the people who we think have the most to say about it (hint: that’s you) and asking for your help.

We’ve created a game we’re calling Escapade Buzz. Every time that you post about Escapade, or do anything else that lets other people know about the convention, tell us about it using the form on the page linked below and you’ll earn a point. Different points levels get different—but equally cool—prizes. Grand prize is 1/2 off next year’s registration.
