โ€ผ๏ธWeโ€™ve been in contact with the wedding party on-site and have learned that there was a miscommunication regarding event scheduling and coordination. Both parties were unaware of the other's plans, and it appears the wedding was arranged further in advance than we initially understood. #AQF ๐Ÿงตโฌ‡๏ธ

#AQF Hey guys! Just as a reminder, we have not one but TWO weddings tomorrow that we are sharing space with. Please be on your best behavior and do not engage with the wedding parties. Let them have their day and y'all enjoy yours as well! We have so much cool stuff for you to check out <3

So Next Year, we are working on a party-floor to help prevent these conflicts and create a better experience! Working with the hotel on this for next year means you get the parties you want! Teamwork makes the dream work, but we gotta make it through this round to make the next one wild!

If any attendee encounters any issues involving other hotel guests, please contact Con ops or hotel staff rather than confronting anyone directly. We will work with the appropriate parties to address concerns as they arise.

We are just asking to please be mindful of your volume. Please be respectful of neighboring rooms and remember that this round not everyone in the hotel is attending the convention, some live at the Condos full time.

Con ops staff will be making rounds throughout the hotel to help address concerns and mitigate noise issues before they escalate to the hotel sending people. Ops will be keeping records of everything best they can.

Please do not photobomb, interrupt, and or insert yourself into their photos or activities. Be mindful of their space, privacy, and time at the hotel. Let them enjoy their celebration without disruption.

โ€ผ๏ธRegarding parties and noiseโ€ผ๏ธ Our convention attendees are allowed to host parties, and we actually now have communication from the hotel.

๐Ÿ’œ Thankfully, the wedding party has shared that theyโ€™re having a good time with us so far, and we appreciate their understanding as we are navigating this situation in real time.

With that in mind, we ask everyone to please be respectful of the wedding party and their guests. This is a VERY special occasion for them, and we want everyone sharing the venue to have a positive experience.

The wedding is in the basement where registration was supposed to be. So at least want to thank everybody who is being very patient with us. We are planning on being at this hotel again next year for the 10-year of AQF. And we will be contracting to have the convention space in full.

Another thing that has been brought to my attention, if any of the wedding guests bug any of the attendees, please do not interact. Please just go ahead and contact ConOps or the hotel.

We are going to have our people roaming to try to check on folks who may be on the louder side before the cops get called. We normally have our people come knock before the hotel gets involved but they are trying to push their protocols this round so please be patient.

The short short version is we were supposed to have the entire hotel venue, the reason why the convention book is different from the map online is because of some back-end planning that the hotel didn't let us know until a few weeks before the actual convention that we didn't get all of the rooms.

We spent a lot of time talking with security and even had the president of the hotel come down to try to mitigate. Parties Are Allowed - you can still have your parties. We unfortunately have to be conscious about the normies guests in the hotels.

#AQF Due to some last minute changes that were out of our control, we have had to do a large update to the convention map and schedule. Please double check any panels you may saved to your calendar as they might have changed time/place. https://aquatifur.org/schedule/ ๐ŸŽจ Danji

#AQF ATTENTION: Our con block is SOLD OUT however the hotel still has rooms available not in the con block if you're still looking! We are currently working on overflow hotels so stay tuned!
