Finally we got all the details fixed and are ready to start the registration. Register now and be part of the PlanetsCon 2014 experience!

PlanetsCON is a privately organized event, from Planets players for Planets players. We try to provide an enjoyable platform to talk about your true vocation. To suit your personal plans (travel timing & accommodation) we have included only the minimal required costs in the PlanetsCon participation fee, everything else is up to your individual choice. The conference room, wifi, and all technical rents are included, as well as snacks, soft drinks, coffee and tea the whole day. And of course the Imperial BBQ where you will find steaks, bratwurst, beer, salads and everything else needed to suit even the hungriest interplanetary diplomat. There will be enough to eat, drink and talk the whole night for all of us.

Location:
The PlanetsCON 2014 in Frankfurt will be held at the Goethe Hotel Frankfurt.

• www.goethe-hotel-frankfurt.de
• Schmidtstrasse 53
• 60326 Frankfurt am Main

All participants are requested to book thier accommodation directly with the desired hotel. We have arranged special rates at the Goethe Hotel for you. Just mention “PlanetsCon” at your registration and you will get the following rates:

• 75€ Single bed room
• 95€ Double bed room (~47,50 p.p.)
• 115€ 3 bed room (~38,50 p.p.)

All costs are per room and night, breakfast included.
There are other hotels available that may offer slightly cheaper rates, but the Goethe is in walking distance to the Imperial BBQ location and of course the Convention Hotel.

Costs:
The PlanetsCon participation fee is at 45€. It covers the conference room, snacks, drinks and food at the Imperial BBQ and all the organizational stuff around the PlanetsCon. Not included is your accommodation, the lunch on saturday (if desired, delivery service available) and the Ghipsoidal Brunch on sunday. We hope that many of you can join the brunch (18,90€) but understand if it may not suit everyones travel schedule.

Agenda:
The PlanetsCon is about us players, so everyone can do what he or she likes. The agenda below is a rough frame, there will be plenty of room to meet other players, discuss your turns, make face-to-face interstellar politics or adress questions to those that might know the answer. We will have a soft start on friday and will pick up those who are already at the hotel around 18:00. Those who arrive later than 20:00 can join us directly at the Biergarten (location tba).
