DeLorean Convention and Show (DCS_2018) Event Registration is Open

[Rich W]

DeLorean Owners, Fans and Enthusiasts,

Event Registration is now Open for DeLorean Convention & Show.

Thanks to all the attendees of DCS 2016 that "Early Registered"
for DCS 2018 over the past few weeks. We appreciate all of your
ongoing support of DCS and a registration discount was a small
Thank You from the DCS Planning Team.

DCS 2018 will have more new DMC VIPs and new BTTF VIPs at
this year's Convention and many returning VIPs from DCS 2016.
The tentative convention summary is posted in the Event Details
thread and details are subject to change as VIP Guests confirm.

With a smaller DCS Planning Team, we were unable to provide a
Raffle Car (to help reduce costs), however we were able to keep
most of the costs the same as DCS 2016, except for the Event
Registration, which is similar to Celebration Exotic Car Festival, FL.

When compared to costs for other events, like Comic Con's and
World of Wheels shows, the per day costs for DCS is reasonable
and affordable, and when paired with the Dinners and Keynote
Speaker Presentations, DCS is an awesome, rare DMC experience.

Please note Registration prices cover VIP Guest travel, their hotel
and dinner costs, so the more DCS Dinners you attend, the more
value is added to your DCS experience. VIP Guests continue to
confirm, so check the forums and social media for the current list.

While we do not have all of our VIP Guests confirmed yet, the
DCS Team is supplying a Tentative Conference Agenda Summary,
so you can pick and choose which dinners you prefer to attend
but we recommend attending all of them, for a full experience.

If you recall, we had the last minute addition of sketches of
DeLoreans, by Giugiaro, that were raffled off at one dinner at
DCS 2016, and these were only available to dinner attendees.
All of our DCS Keynote Speakers add value to the DCS Dinners.

DCS Registration is now OPEN to the public, at Regular Cost,
through July 15. A Late Registration fee applies after July 16.

Thanks, Rich. Are the T-shirts all adult men's sizes?

[Rich W]

Thanks, Rich. Are the T-shirts all adult men's sizes?

Yes, I believe they are. We followed the way Ken K. did T-Shirts for years for DCS,
however, we may have on-site, on demand, T-Shirt printing on Saturday 08/18/18,
and, if we do, we will have Women's T-Shirts and several children sizes available.

[Rich W]

Don't forget to Hotel Register when you Event Register for DCS 2018

See the DCS 2018 Hotel Registration thread and posts for more details.

Hey, did I miss something? I registered immediately and got the discounted hotel rate, but was there another registration discount for the actual event? How much was it? I am a DCS 2016 attendee, but I was not aware of a 2018 early registration discount. In fact, I didn't even know registration was actually open until this post.

I hate to miss out on a discount.

There was a email sent to 2016 attendees. Maybe check your spam?

PM Rich I think he'd hook you up.

Ah, thanks for the info. Do you happen to know if the ones that are for sale now are 100% cotton? Like Doc, I'm allergic to synthetics, haha.

[adam_knox]

Hi Rich,
Is a purchase of a meal required to see the evening guests? Also, how do we register for the tech day?

Thanks!

DCS 2016 T-Shirts were 100% Cotton (Anvil Ring Spun).

DCS 2018 T-Shirts will likely be similar or same brand (100% Cotton).

Yes - Dinner Purchase(s) Required to see the Keynote Speakers and after-dinner presentations.

However, many of the VIP Guests (not all) will make short presentations in the break-out rooms,
and all the break-out room presentations are included with DCS 2018 Event Registration.

No additional registration required to attend the Tech Day events, but we may ask for RSVP's for
the Tech Day, depending upon how we will setup the DWT presentations for Wolfgang and Klaus.

Can one of the mods update the link in the first post? It should be HTTPS

Me too on that note. Didn’t know there was a 2016 attendee discount. Heck, I didn’t even know about the early hotel registration discount.

[DaraSue]

Just registered!

What do people wear to the dinners? Can I come in jeans and a t-shirt or do I need to bring something fancy?

No need to be fancy. Jean's and a t are fine. It's not a formal.

Follow-up: I looked and saw buried in my email received was the email Dave mentioned. I missed it, clear and simple, and I have to take responsibility for my own failure. I'll pay the regular rate, and be more diligent in the future about skimming over emails.

I registered just now too. A bit of a bumber on the 2016 discount. I saw the email and went to the site the day it was up but didn't want to put info in since it was just http at the time...Thought it might be in testing so was waiting to see things here on the forum. Oh well, not like the money is going to buy someone ruby studded seat covers.

Sorry about the HTTP vs. HTTPS issue. This was an oversight after testing a Linux fix to the RackSpace server.
The HTTP link was being used during testing and I should have made sure the HTTPS link was posted after the
final phase of testing was completed. If you have any questions about the process, feel free to email me when
you see an issue, (at least 4 people emailed with the Linux error) so it was fixed. Sorry about the confusion.

DeLorean Owners, Fans and Enthusiasts,

With Tax Day behind us (here in the U.S.), it's time to think about DCS,
especially if you have not Hotel Registered or Event Registered yet.

Just a quick reminder, we are about 16 weeks away from the convention,
with DMC Car Show day of DCS 2018, exactly 4 months away from today.

If you have not registered for DCS 2018 yet, remember to Hotel Register
and Event Register within the next 12 weeks, for the best pricing.

Hotel Registration and Event Registration prices increase after July 15,
which is less than 3 months away from today.

For the Links to Hotel Registration and Event Registration, and details
about DCS 2018, visit the DCS 2018 website with the following link:

http://www.deloreanconvention.org/

The earlier that folks Event Register, the more VIP Guests we can invite
to DCS 2018, and the more value and enjoyment for all our DCS attendees.

Check your calendar and Summer schedule, so you can Event Register soon.
We look forward to seeing many of you this August at DCS 2018.

Thank you for your continued support of DeLorean Convention and Show.

Regards,
Rich W. [for the DCS 2018 Planning Team]

One Week Left of Regular Event Registration for DCS 2018 (before Late Fees apply)

The DCS 2018 will start final processing of Event Registrations and begin printing
Event Badges next weekend, so if you intend to attend DCS 2018, you will want to
register this weekend or within the next few days, to avoid Late Fees.

The Salons for the Evening Dinners will also be setup based on "Regular" attendee
Registrations, so hopefully the Late Registrations will not adversely effect setup.

We hope to see many of you at DCS 2018 this August.

[powerline84]

I registered . Quick question do the tickets and shirts get mailed to you or do you pick them up at the event?

[WHO1DMC]

No tickets. You'll get a badge you have to have on all the time and shirt at the event. The badge will have all the meals you signed up for on it.

[powerline84]

Cool thanks. I didn't sign up for any dinners cause I didn't know the details . Is it possible to sign up for dinners at the event ?

[Rich W]

When in doubt, check the DCS 2018 Event Details thread ...

Thanks to those of you who have already Event Registered for DCS 2018.
For those of you thinking of attending DCS 2018, we would recommend to
hotel register now, ASAP, so you get a Discounted Room before July 27.
DCS Dinner Registration will also end the evening of Friday, July 27.

(we do not plan any on-site registration or dinner additions)

DeLorean Owners, Fans and Enthusiasts,

Today, July 27 is the last day for DCS Dinner Registrations.
If you are interested in listening to the Keynote Speakers
and their presentations after Dinner, make sure you have
registered for the evening dinner(s).

Keep in mind, each Dinner Registration may include extra
bonus items or activities beyond what is posted now, such
as custom sketches by Giugiaro that we had at DCS 2016,
which our Keynote Speaker, Dr. Perini, kept as a secret.

After today, DCS Dinners will be Sold Out and the Resort
will be pre-paid for the DCS Dinners that are registered.
Event Registration (without dinner options) will continue
through August 5th, but after that, DCS 2018 is Sold Out.

[Rich W]

Just for further clarification of Sold Out ...

In this case, Sold Out means no further Advance Sales and
No On-site Registration for either DCS Events or for Dinners.

DCS 2018 starts in a week. Hope to see many of you there.

Thanks,
Rich W.
