Intervention 2012 is happy to announce it’s first round of guests for the 2012 event. We have a great collection of returning guests from our previous years, and a notable new guest of Danielle Corsetto, creator of Girls with Slingshots. We have many other guests in the works, so expect some huge announcements over the next few weeks.

This is just the beginning of the chaos….

Hi guys! While we are busy working behind these scenes preparing for the guest announcements and things, there are 2 things you should know about. We have 2 fun mini events for you to attend! There is no charge to attend either of them by us, but for the Busch Gardens one, you have to buy your own park ticket to get in.

Sat. April 7th @ The Hilton Rockville, MD: Geek Meetup:
Here is a Facebook invite.

For those without FB:

Hilton Washington DC/Rockville
1750 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852

Saturday, April 7, 2012
3:00pm until 7:00pm

This meetup is open to the public! Invite as many people as you want to this.

Well, we did a poll and April 7th won by a landslide this time around.

We will be hanging out from 3-7PM at the Hilton Rockville in the Atrium area near the bar. After that we will go to Mosaic to get waffle burgers: http://www.mosaiccuisine.com/

What is the reason behind this meetup? Fun, really. We never get to see most of you when we aren’t working at a con, so this is a great time to socialize in a low-stress environment. You do not have to have attended Intervention (http://www.InterventionCon.com/) to attend, but it is a great time for you to ask us questions about the event, make suggestions, remind us about things, and hear unreleased info about the Sept. 2012 event.

Sat. June 30th @ Busch Gardens Williamsburg, VA: Geeks Invade Busch Gardens:
Here is a Facebook invite.

For those without FB:

Saturday, June 30, 2012
10:00am until whenever

Our awesome geeky event http://www.InterventionCon.com/ is only once a year. We decided that we should have mini meet ups all year round.

This is open to the public! All geeks (and even non-geeks) are invited. You don’t have to have attended Intervention in the past. You also don’t have to ride the rides – half of our group are non-riders. Their job is to test the delicious food and alcohol for us. ;D

BGW has a new coaster this year (Verbolten), a new Fairy Tale stage show in Germany, and new German foods, like gingerbread!

We’ll meet at the park ticket booths at park opening, If you are late, its OK.

Follow http://www.twitter/com/Onezumi to see where we are at, and/or call/text 619-ONEZUMI if you don’t have Twitter. Also, you should probably friend me on FB (Onezumi Hartstein)

Don’t be shy – come on out and have fun with us!

You can also sign up to our Geek Meetup mailing list here. If oyu don;t do social networking, you can still get the updates there.

Intervention 2012′s “Early Owl” registration rate of $30 for the full weekend will be ending very soon, on March 31st. After April 1st the rate will go to our regular pre-registration cost of $35. So it’s a good idea to buy your registration to Intervention 2012 right now. With a cost this low you can add on an Enabler Level for the same total cost for registration now as our at door rate! It’s always nice to get something essentially free :)

The next Intervention 2011 Panel video is: How To Speak In Public

Description: Do you want to be up at the front of the room speaking on a panel? Do you want to be more successful selling your stuff and talking with people about your work? Get advice on how to speak in public from the pros who have been doing it for years.

Panelists: Eric Kimball, Blue, Sara Mitchell, Elaine Corvidae

We’ve heard some feedback that there have been some issues that have occurred when using some of the contact forms on our website. If you have submitted feedback, programming suggestions, or applied to be in our vendor room, but did not receive an auto-reply email (saying basically “we got your submission”) within a few hours, then it’s likely the form did not properly get submitted. One possible suggestion is to make sure any “no-script” plugins for your browser are set to (at least temporarily) allow scripts on our form pages. We’d also especially like to hear from anyone who sees any error messages after submitting a form.

If you believe you are being affected by this you can contact us through our contact email address at: contact @ interventioncon.com.

Thanks, Harknell
