EJC Athens 2007 - Pre-registration closes June 1st!!!

Update 03/02/07

*Pre-registration will close on the 1st of June* - you can register online or download the pre-reg form for your country and register through your local EJA rep

Update 19/03/07
Pre-reg prices now available on the official EJC 2007 website

I thought I'd start an EJC 2007 thread in the events forum.



EJC 2007 will take place from July 30th to August 5th 2007 in the Helliniko Olympic Complex, Athens, Greece.

Their official website is now live, and will be updated regularly. Pre-registration is not yet open, but I will add info on that as soon as it is.

Curious about the site? It is the site of the old Athens airport, and has large air conditioned halls. It is also on the sea. These photos, courtesy of Toby and Phillip from the EJC 2008 Karlsruhe team may help.







More info will be added to this thread as it becomes available.

Hope to see you all there

I'm soooooooo going to this. Air conditioned hall! It better be...

My sister lives in Athens....

from play to athens for more play

i think id be a fool not to........

*checks holiday allowance*

Also if you put up an awning over your tent, that will offer some shade, further helping it to be a bit cooler.

wooooo
won't make it to this one, but it looks like it will be fantastically fun for you all!! maybe see you at the one after this..

plus the quest of finding a spot that's shaded in the morning by the shadow of a building is always a good plan.

I'm gonna go to this methinks

anyone know how long it takes to drive to athens from shropshire. I well don't like hot tents. not that it would stop me!

Pink...?, how much were your flights?

My flights were £115 return..monday - monday BUT i bought them about a month ago so probably gone up by now.

Pre-registration through your local friendly country rep will open soon - fliers are currently being translated. UK people will be able to pre-reg through Ali at the BJC as far as I know.

Please pre-register. Really, please please pre-register.

If you don't pre-register, the convention organisers don't know how much money they have to make a better convention for you. Last year, EJC Millstreet's pre-registration was so low that it meant that we:

1. Cancelled a big top
2. Couldn't invite some artists who we wanted there
3. Couldn't afford to decorate the site, the hall, the fire area etc.
4. Couldn't afford an extra PA for random music around the site
5. Couldn't make costumes/banners etc for the parade, or a nice backdrop for the stage
6. Couldn't buy nice little thank you gifts for volunteers (we wanted to)
7. Had many many sleepless nights - at one stage it looked as if we would make a massive loss.

In the end, we could have done all of the above - but we didn't know that, because so few people pre-registered.

Hope to see you all there

Thanks for posting that, Helen, it clarifies some things that I had observed at the last EJC.

Pre-registration is now open - you can register online or download the pre-reg form for your country and register through your local EJA rep

I was the very first person to register online this year
