Things to Do Around Dragon Con Part One
Beginning this week we will feature activities and events around Dragon Con. This week we start with the Art Show, Comics and Pop Art Alley, The Dragon Con Film Festival, and the Dragon Con Parade.
NEW FORMS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO REPORTERS FOR DRAGON CON 2016:
Request to Interview a Director at Dragon Con: Use this form to request an interview with one of our many fascinating and informative directors. Interviews with directors should be scheduled before the convention because during the convention they have limited time. You can also request an interview before or during the convention with Dan Carroll, Dragon Con Media Relations Director, and official spokesperson. Please only ask for a total of 10 interviews, picking no more than 3 directors from any one area. NOTE: Directors portion has closed.

Podcast Space Request: Space is limited, but we can provide podcasting space for you. This space will have electricity, chairs, and a table. We can not guarantee total quiet, since we will be working Media Registration in the same room, but you will have relative quiet with some background ambiance to give you that “we are live at a convention” feel. Also, we will not be able to provide internet access, so this if for recording and not live streaming.

DRAGON CON INTERVIEW REQUESTS
Some approved media representatives will be invited to request interviews with Dragon Con Walk of Fame Guests. Everyone who is authorized to be a reporter at Dragon Con can interview non-Walk of Fame guests and Dragon Con representatives.
Interview requests are approved by the agents and scheduled by Dragon Con Media Relations. Requesting an interview is not a guarantee that an interview will occur. The guest and Dragon Con Media Relations can change the interview schedule as Dragon Con schedules change.
