July 12 - 15, Harry Potter fancon at Portofino & park

[heidi8]

I'm on the team that's putting together Ascendio - it'll be our eighth Harry Potter fancon and our second at Universal Orlando. It's taking place from July 12 - 15, with wizard rock and other YA authors featured on the 12th, and loads of Harry Potter discussions, fanart, a craft fair, theatrical productions, a Ball and more taking place on the 13th and 14th (and yes, we're having Night of a Thousand Wizards again on July 12).

Today is the last day that you can get daypasses at half-off via Google Offers (and we also have a fantastic $210/night rate at the Portofino) so if you're planning a trip to Orlando this summer and haven't chosen a date, or if you're local and want to do something fantastically and magically Harry Potter, come and check us out!

Hey, I was going to start a new thread to ask if anybody is going to Ascendio!

Looks like it will be a great conference. Here's the schedule:

Thanks for posting.

We happen to be coming down that exact weekend and I just booked the day pass for half off and two rooms at 210 each.

Great deal. Should be interesting to see all the crazy costumes everyone wears to the events.

Earlier today, Ascendio posted a terrific deal on Twitter when they sent their 2000th Tweet. For 2000 minutes (starting from 3 PM today (in other words, until 11:59 PM on June 5)) anyone can take 2000 pennies (that's $20) off a Night of a Thousand Wizards 2 ticket for themselves or a friend! Just use the code N1K2K when you register for Ascendio or modify your registrationto add a NoaTW2 ticket.

The $20 discount code can be applied to tickets for registrants (otherwise priced at $140) or to the NoaTW2+ ticket for nonregistrants (otherwise priced at $155). The NoaTW2+ ticket includes access to the Common Room, Vendor Room and Art Gallery on Friday, July 13, too!
