2014 Entertainment Designer Forum

[mebweb]

Is there anyone on the board that has attended/is attending this event? I've been in previous years and just bought tickets for this year. The panelists always are informative and have interesting stories to share. Plus, all the money collected for tickets and raised from the auction goes to a great cause.

I'm thinking about going, but tickets are a little pricey.

I've gone ever yr it started and love all of them. Me and my girlfriend have a good time and love all the stories we hear

Its worth the money IMO

I'll be there. Gotta think of some good questions!

I had a great time at my first designer forum! Met some great people and saw some awesome props and collectibles to bid on. I'm a broke college student so I thought it better to save my money for other things. But I wanted to bid on quite a few goodies! The panels were pretty darn neat, some cool stories, lessons, and advice. And it was all for a great cause! If you didn't make it this year you should definitely do so next time!

I didn't take many pics or any video, I was trying to meet and talk to people and listen but here are few.

First off, a funny tid bit. I was standing around when I first got there and all of the sudden I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn to see M. Roddy telling me to come with him. Appearently his friend liked my hair a lot and wanted to take a picture but was to afraid to ask himself. So after Mr. Roddy took our pic I asked to take a pic with him since it was only fair. I thought that was pretty funny.



Next, the two panels. I forgot to take a pic of the list of names like an idiot. But I think I have the flyer somewhere to connect the dots. I'll have to look, but I'm about to leave right now.

The first panel.


The second.

I did not have the chance to attend the panel (still in Boston until later today), but I heard mostly positive things. Apparently some of the bidding wars got pretty intense - which makes sense, given some of the stuff they had available. The custom Jack (the Clown) in a Box was awesome, as was the opportunity to be included on this year's HHN website as a character.

Thanks for the pics, ChrisM! :thumbs: I really wanted to attend, but I just didn't plan well enough in advance. Next year for sure!
