FaffCon 8: The Happiest Voiceover Place On Earth
If you were at FaffCon 8, some of what I am about to share with you will not be a complete surprise as some of it was discussed then.
But please read the whole thing anyway. Thanks!
REGISTRATION FOR FAFFCON 9
• A big focus of FaffCon 9 is to welcome as many 1st or 2nd time Faffers to this conference as possible – this is a major FaffCon 9 priority because attendance at FaffCon 10 will be exclusive to working voiceover pros who have attended at least one of the previous nine FaffCons
• We are expanding the attendance cap for FaffCon 9 to 150 attendees; we want as many new, qualified, vetted voiceover talents to attend as possible and still not lose the completely unique unconference relationship offered via the FaffCon experience; again, FaffCon 9 will be a new Faffer’s last chance to attend a FaffCon
• To ensure we get as many 1st and 2nd time Faffers in to FaffCon 9 as possible, 1st and 2nd time Faffers will be allowed to register A DAY BEFORE general registration
• FaffCon 9 Registration will be held as follows:
* Tuesday, June 6: Presenting, Key, Supporting, & Voice Pro Sponsors
* Wednesday, June 7: First & Second Time FaffCon Participants
* Thursday, June 8: Contributing Sponsors & General Registration
SPONSORSHIP FOR FAFFCON 9
• After some grueling pencil sharpening, we were able to keep the Key and Supporting sponsorship pricing and benefits the same as last year
• New this year: Key and Supporting sponsorship levels will be sold exclusively to voiceover vendors
• There is a NEW SPONSORSHIP LEVEL JUST FOR VOICE TALENTS who want to support FaffCon as well as help secure their spot at FaffCon 9
* It’s called the Voice Pro Sponsor, it costs $1,000 and there are 25 Voice Pro Sponsorships available for FaffCon 9
* The purpose of this category is to leave more spots open for 1st and 2nd time Faffers; spots that might otherwise have been secured by voice talents who purchased a Key Supporting or Supporting sponsorship level (support we appreciated then and still appreciate today, thank you!)
* The Voice Pro Sponsor sponsorship category may prove popular so…IF there are more than 25 people who want this sponsorship, we will create a list of all those folks and subsequently broadcast a live, on-line random drawing where 25 names will be selected as Voice Pro Sponsor sponsors at FaffCon 9
* This does NOT mean that those who might not be selected in the Voice Pro Sponsor random drawing cannot go to FaffCon 9, they will just have to register during the General Registration based on remaining spots available after – further, they can be a Contributing Sponsor if they like as well
* Those interested in being a Voice Pro Sponsor MUST send their email request to sponsorship@faffcon.com before Wednesday, May 31st at midnight PT
No doubt there will be other questions but we will answer those as they arise.
All of our FaffCon 9 team cannot properly express our thanks to all the voice talents who have supported us over the years.
We are so excited to welcome old AND new peers/friends to FaffCon 9.
We hope to see you…and lots of NEW faces in Charlotte!
