We’d like to thank everyone who came to and helped with the ReaderCon! It was a fun event for us organizers, and we hope it was fun for all of you, too.

But to give us a better perspective of what you think about the ReaderCon and how you think we can improve, we invite you to give us your evaluation or feedback about the event. Tell us what you liked and what you think we can do to improve for next year. You can also suggest topics or issues that you’d like to talk about in the next ReaderCon. You may give us your feedback by leaving a comment in this post or you may use the Google form below if you’d rather make your feedback private.

Important Announcements about the ReaderCon

Hello, all. It’s a couple of days before the Con, and we’re all excited! Anyway, just a few announcements for everyone’s benefit:

  1. Registration for the ReaderCon is P50. Yup, that’s all you need to pay.
  2. Entrance is on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE basis. We can only accommodate 70 people in the venue, unfortunately. Do come early so you can be sure of a slot.
  3. Snacks will be provided for, care of Hizon’s catering. So, rest assured that we will be well fed.
  4. There will be a RAFFLE! Thanks to our raffle sponsors, we have books and other nifty goodies to give away. So, 5 lucky Filipino Friday meme participants will win some of these prizes. We’ll also be giving a prize to a lucky Twitter follower (who is actually going to participate via Twitter during the ReaderCon). And the rest will be for the onsite participants. All raffle draws will be done during the socials part of the program.
  5. Raffle winners can only win once.

By the way, it wouldn’t hurt to bring a business card if you’re coming. You know, if you want to network and the like.:) See you all in Meeting Room 2 on Sept. 14!
