Deadlines for the pre-registration and panel submissions!
Good monday everyone! We hope you had a great time at the Maid Café yesterday. Thank you so much for coming; it was awesome to see you! Of course, it wouldn’t have been as great if it weren’t for all the maids, butlers and volunteers who helped us, the Journées Ludiques with whom you played boardgames, Geneviève Lévesque who so graciously offered her services as photographer and took stunning shots of the amazing cosplays, and the Fanamanga who brought delicious onigiris and bubble teas. Thank you all for an incredible Maid Café!
With the Maid Café now over, the last stretch before Nadeshicon itself begins! As such, we will be closing online badge pre-orders on the 28th of this month. If you were thinking of pre-ordering it but were still holding off, you only have a few days left! You can do so, and find all the info relating to it, in the Pre-order page.
Another deadline coming up is the one for panel submissions, which will be on March 7th. You have a brilliant idea for a panel but haven’t submitted it yet? You can find the form and the instructions in the Get Involved page! Send them fast so we can start working on the event schedule!
Maid Café and volunteers
The Maid Café is tomorrow! During the event, our staff in charge of volunteers will be at your service to answer your questions concerning the roles and benefits of volunteers. Forms will also be available if you decide to lend us a hand!
If you are unable to attend tomorrow’s Maid Café, or if you already know you want to be a volunteer during Nadeshicon, you can also find the form in the Get Involved section!
Fanamanga and bubble tea!
Fanamanga will be at the Maid Café during the afternoon to sell delicious bubbles teas! Don’t miss out!
Journées Ludiques de Québec will be at the Maid Café!
What better way to have fun and process all that food than boardgames? Journées Ludiques de Québec will be on site this Sunday to lend and animate boardgames! Take a breather and sit down with your closed ones for just a moment to enjoy one of the simplest (yet sometimes most complex!) forms of entertainment. So pick up pawns, dices, cards and boards, and have fun!
