Schedule Online
---------------
You can find a tentative version of the schedule on our web page.
They're PDFs, by day, to make it easier to print off. You will find
them in the News and Information Section.
Space Contest
-------------
Did you miss the pre-registration deadline? Why not check out
Space's web page, where you can win a membership for two to
Toronto Trek. You can find a link off our page at
http://tcon.icomm.ca
Registration Information
------------------------
Never win anything? You can register for Toronto Trek at the door.
Check out our "At the Door Page":
http://tcon.icomm.ca/tt15/index.php3?pg=atthedoor
This page contains information on when doors open and the hours of
the convention.
Not sure if a convention is your thing? Why not come out and get
a 2 hour pass for just $10 (cheaper than a movie) and take a look
around. If you decide you like what you see, you can upgrade to
a full membership.
Tips for those of you who pre-registered
----------------------------------------
Pre-registration opens at 3pm HOWEVER the convention does not open
until 6pm so you don't have to be their right at 3pm. Which everyone
seems to do and therefore the line can be a bit slow as a result.
Please bring your confirmation letter and some form of ID. If you
forget your letter (or don't have a printer - please note your
confirmation #) it is very important that you have photo ID with you.
If you arrive late on Friday (around 9pm) go to the Con Office
and they can supply you with your membership.
Mobility Access
--------------
If you informed us you have mobility access issues and PREREGISTERED
you can pick up your pre-registration at the mobility access table.
Otherwise, you will have to use the regular lines. But be sure to
drop by the mobility access table afterwards.
eBay Canada
------------
Toronto Trek will be joining eBay Canada list of charity sites.
We are just setting up the site now and will shortly be listing
a few items. Be sure to watch our page
http://members.ca.ebay.com/aboutme/torontotrek/
KAG/Kanada - Eye Glasses
------------------------
KAG/KANADA Want Your Old Eye Glasses!
Once again KAG/KANADA is supporting Lenscrafter's Gift of Sight. This
is a charitable program that collects and distributes used eye glasses
FREE OF CHARGE to people in third world countries who desperately need
them. Please bring your used eye glasses to the KAG/KANADA table in
the main hall anytime during the convention.
