That is great news for fans in Europe! Hope that many of you can make it! Do they move it around to different countries in the Union or is it always in the Netherlands?

I've read the e-mail and pre-registered today

Hopefully I've got some time to make something.

For now the convention is based in the Netherlands. Everyone part of the organisation all live in the central area of the Netherlands. Sinds this isn't done with a big budget, and we're really not making a dime off it with a ticket price of €10.-/€12.-, I don't see the convention moving around anytime soon. But never say never! :grin:

Same thing as at the U.S. BotCon, but in dutch and at a smaller scale. Which in turn does have the nice effect that all day you run into people you haven't seen in the longest time. That does give a much closer and fun event, then at some of the bigger events where you can feel youself become lost in the crowd.

Sounds well organized. Since most of Europe is connected by a great if not the best rail network some using TGV it makes it easy to get there from anywhere in the Union. Best of luck with it!
