“Currently, the Corporate Party Planning Committee is aiming for fall 2009.” Read more here.

A second convention is definitely being considered; check out the fourth bullet under “Community Relations” on this page from the Scranton Chamber of Commerce website.
The more enticing news is what a little birdie told me: “on the drawing board or getting close to getting on the drawing board, ‘Office-Palooza!’, if it happens, May ‘09, after the show wraps. Hoping to get EVERYONE here for the next generation of Office Convention. Again, only in the ‘what if’ stage but at least some events may happen at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain.”

Please remember that nothing has been officially announced or confirmed yet …

Aimee-

In addressing you about the autograph signing, NBC told the organizers to have the autograph signing the week before the Convention. They were not planning to have one to begin with. So, what the organizers did was in the packets that you received at Convention, you were given a ticket that said “A” or “B” which would tell you when and where your autograph session would be.

I’m sorry that you weren’t able to meet any of the cast or writers at the actual Convention. I have to say The Radisson is where I met a majority of them. They were pretty willing to sign autographs and take pictures.

Also, I want to go back to Scranton, but not when the convention is going on. It’s a blast, but I was so exhausted having to be certain places at certain times constantly. I love the city, and would like to go back and stay during a time when I can just go to places at my own pace.

TheOfficeB’tch,

I had the same issues you did regarding tickets. I bought the $100 pass, which was supposed to guarantee me into an autograph signing. They did not have any actually scheduled, and me and my friend kept checking the website, thinking they would put up when they would be. They obviously did not, and we kept finding out from people they had went to autograph signings, but just happened to be where it happened. It was all very helter skelter, and we headed to the airport and hadn’t met one person. LUCKILY, Leslie, Phyllis, Creed, Oscar, Melora, and Brian were at the airport 2 gates down, and we met them all, but the convention did not really deliver on what we were promised when we spent an extra $50 on our pass. I know it was the first year, but I don’t think updating on the site where and when signings would take place would be that hard. I had a really good time, regardless, but I’m gonna pass on the Convention this year.

There were different levels of tickets….i believe it was 50 for a day pass 100 for a 2 day pass and 250 for corporate pass…which I heard was AMAZING! I got the 50 one and it got me into the halloween party and the cast question and answer.

I’m so excited. I’ve been waiting to hear this since I got home from last year’s convention! Last year was was amazing and I can’t wait for a bigger and better one.

So glad to hear they are still working on this :) I encourage all of the fandom to go out to Scranton…the convention was really fun! If you need more motivation, you might even get to meet Tanster…what more do you need?!

Can’t wait for more updates!

I’m really glad i have some time to prepare for this. I have to be honest, last year i was really disappointed in how the issue of tickets was handled and who was allowed where depending on the ticket you had. It was a really stressful weekend for me.
I’m really glad they are taking the time to prepare and really make it bigger and better.
By the way, did anyone have the same issues I did?

I live in Ohio and I am so going to this. It sounds like a blast, and since I’ve never been to California, this could be my only opportunity to get a glimpse of these people!

I’m very conflicted in my emotions right now: EXCITED that the chances are looking good for another Convention (bigger and better, supposedly) but DEFLATED that we’ll likely be waiting another whole year.

I guess that’s more time to save up money, though. :)

[from tanster: split the expenses with Adam! :) ]

I’d love to go! I still have a year’s worth of begging to do, but I REALLY wanna go this time. Meet my OfficeTally and DMI friends!

Fall, huh? I was kinda liking the idea of a springtime convention this time, but no matter when it is, if they’re able to pull it off, I’ll be there. Wouldn’t miss it for the world!

[from tanster: meet ya in Atlanta? ;) ]
