It’s a new year and we’re ready to announce our first Guest of Honor for NBC X! None other than the lovely Monica Rial!

We’ll be making more guest announcements among other things in the coming weeks as we lead up to NBC X, so stay tuned!

No Brand at DaishoCon

Once again, No Brand will be hosting a room party at DaishoCon.  That is this weekend, November 19 & 20, both Friday and Saturday nights.  Look for our signs around the Con for our room number.  Be sure to stop by, because we will be offering an early-bird special weekend registration price of $25 for No Brand Con X!  We will also be selling our new navy No Brand Hero zip-up Hoodies for $30.  We are hoping to see you all there!

STEAK V is this weekend!

While NoBrandCon will be celebrating it’s tenth anniversary next Spring, another one of our yearly events will be celebrating it’s fifth anniversary this upcoming weekend. STEAK V (NBC’s Fall gaming event) will be occurring this weekend, October 16-17 at the UWEC Davies Center on the second floor in the skylight lounge area. Established in 2006 by some of NoBrand’s dedicated table gaming staff, this event has since grown to include a video game room and viewing theater on top of the usual table gaming as well. The NoBrandCon staff put on this event to help bridge the gap between our yearly conventions and to have some fun during the slower Fall months before ramping up and getting ready for NoBrandCon in the Spring.

If you’d like some more information about STEAK, feel free to check out our event page on facebook, become a fan of STEAK on facebook, and join the discussion in our STEAK forum. Hope to see you there!

We’re back and heading to Geekkon!

Sorry about the lack of updates over the Summer! With the new school year approaching and a slough of new Fall conventions and events soon upon us, you’ll be seeing far more frequent updates in the months ahead as we count down to NoBrandCon X!

The big announcement we have today is that we’re heading to Geekkon at the Madison Marriot West in Madison, WI on September 3-5, 2010!

The news gets even better!

Preregistration for NoBrandCon X will be up and running soon, but for those of you who can’t wait, we have a special that will be running during our room parties on Friday and Saturday nights only at Geekkon! We’re going to be offering early-bird preregistration for NoBrandCon X next April for a mere $25! That’s right, the entire weekend of NoBrandCon X at our brand new convention space for just $25!

So if you’re planning on attending Geekkon next weekend in Madison, be sure you stop by our room party on either Friday or Saturday night and take advantage of what will be our lowest preregistration price!

Have a good one!

Thanks to everyone!

The NoBrandCon Staff would like to send out a personal thank you to all those who attended this year’s convention! We couldn’t run this event without you and hope everyone had a great time!

Our official attendance this year was 1,192.

We also announced our dates and venue for next year during closing ceremonies. NoBrandCon 10 will take place April 15-17, 2011 at the Plaza Hotel & Suites in Eau Claire, WI. This was the same hotel NoBrandCon 4 was at in 2005, so we’re looking forward to the change in venue and what it will bring to the table for our attendees next year!

Again, a big thanks to everyone who attended and helped out with this year’s con!
