The Office Convention site has finally posted an update with details!

August 23
I’ve received a tentative (but detailed) schedule of events for the convention weekend! A jam-packed weekend is being planned, including more than 10 “official” convention activities. People are hashing through the details this week. And probably the most important thing you want to know is this: yes, several cast members from The Office are planning to fly out and participate!
I’m sorry I can’t post any more details than that right now, but nothing is finalized. I will post more details as soon as I’m allowed! (And no, I’m not sure myself if I am attending …)
May 29
The Convention FAQ has been updated.
If they don’t I will die. I couldn’t go last year but this year I’m determined to make it work! I just hope it’s not Oct. 24-26 or I’ll have to miss a wedding. But I think it would be worth it.
284 | WiseWithWorms Sun. Feb. 24, 2008 at 2:31pmHey everyone,
does anyone know if there will be another office convention in 2008?
283 | Lea Thu. Dec. 6, 2007 at 10:41amSo now that the party is over what did you all think of our town. . . Screanton, The electric city?
282 | ryan C Mon. Oct. 29, 2007 at 2:27pmJust got back from the convention and I gotta say………. WOW! Scranton wut? The Electric City! I have a question for all the Tallyheads though. At the Q and A on Saturday, there was a local guy who did an acoustic video and it was played on the big screen (which you could barely see due to the sun). Anyone have the name of that guy or a link to the vid - it was great. Thanks!
281 | Bradly Scrantone Sun. Oct. 28, 2007 at 2:04pmI went to the convention yesterday. The cast is awsome. Ended up meeting the actors who play Kevin, Andy and Oscar at a local bar on firday night. I have pics if you want em!
280 | Joe Sun. Oct. 28, 2007 at 7:39amIt looks like so much fun! At least I got to see a little bit of the convention on the today show! And what does it matter that Rainn, John, Jenna, B.J., and Steve will not be there, there’s more to the show then just them.
279 | Fun_Run Fri. Oct. 26, 2007 at 3:20pmSteve, John, Jenna, and Rainn aren’t confirmed?
That’s completely lame. I am no longer disappointed that this convention isn’t in California.
278 | Big Haircut Fri. Oct. 26, 2007 at 8:58amAbby, glad you are enjoying our area so far. Welcome!!!!
277 | Mark Thu. Oct. 25, 2007 at 6:37pmI just got done eating a lovely supper at Cooper’s Seafood. Mmmm! We flew in a day early to get some early sightseeing in. We drove up to Lake Wallenpaupak as well…I can’t believe all I’ve taken in…that’s what she said!
276 | Abby Thu. Oct. 25, 2007 at 6:18pmHave fun at the Convention everyone! I wish I could go.
275 | Big Personality Thu. Oct. 25, 2007 at 8:10amso Mose (Michael Schur) is going to be at the convention too?!
274 | Chris Thu. Oct. 25, 2007 at 6:26amI will be taking in the Wilkes-Barre “Mayor’s Cup” football game Kings College vs. Wilkes University, 1:30 pm Saturday at Kings college in Wilkes-Barre.
273 | Frank Thu. Oct. 25, 2007 at 2:37amat 1:30 pm., as part of the festivities. 8 miles from Scranton.
I love the concept, but if none of the five stars of the show are going, why bother?? Lame.
272 | Frank Thu. Oct. 25, 2007 at 2:33amWow, alot of people are going to that. Almost everyone, except Steve, John, Jenna, and Rainn.
271 | kev Thu. Oct. 25, 2007 at 12:09amI really doubt they’ll go. But it’s still really cool.
I wish I lived in Scranton, and not CA. So lame…
LoL.
If Steve, Rainn, Jenna, or John attend, I think Scranton is going to have to increase the security just a bit. However, it’s unlikely they’ll go.
270 | CorporateBS Wed. Oct. 24, 2007 at 10:00am“““““““““““““““““““““
why aren’t they going? too much chaos will ensue?
Pray for nice weather. Looks like rain. :(
269 | Ryan C. Wed. Oct. 24, 2007 at 7:30amGosh, I was already jealous of everyone getting to go to the convention, but knowing basically all the writers will be there makes me even more jealous… really, I think it’s more exciting than having the actors in some ways.
I won’t be surprised if there are more announcements in the coming days, but even if there weren’t, I think the convention organizers have done a fantastic job of getting people to show up. I expect lots of reports and photos, people - I will be living vicariously through all of you this weekend!
268 | TobyFan Wed. Oct. 24, 2007 at 7:04amJust so everyone knows, the bass player for The Scrantones this weekend will be Scott Shriner from none other than WEEZER. Scott is the coolest dude around, I know because I’ve met him after Weezer shows, and he’s super-friendly.
267 | beewcar Wed. Oct. 24, 2007 at 2:11amI’m going to join the people who think that one of the “fab four” will make a surprise entrance.
266 | ShruteBeets Tue. Oct. 23, 2007 at 10:21pmI’m soo upset I can’t go. really, my heart broke. does anyone want to pick me up? 11 hr drive!
but really, if I find out that one of the fab 4 was there I will be super duper upset.
