Perhaps these just aren't decided yet, but could some landmarks be added to the AA Floor Plan to clarify exactly where tables are? It would be useful to know where the Con Center entrance from the Expoteria is in relation to tables or where the reg area, vendor area, or walking areas are. It would also be great if areas where congoers walk into AA were labeled as well. For example, is the area between 106 and 127 an entry point to AA, or is the space behind it partitioned?

Also, I apologize, but this is my first time doing anything with AA at ACen, and my memory is failing me as to how it is set up, so I have a few questions:

1. Are the tables along the edges partitioned or roped off? I imagine there's something for tables that aren't in a circle (e.g. 1-15), but I don't know exactly how it's set up.
2. Where do congoers enter and exit AA?
3. How open is the entire rectangle that is AA? Is the space of AA roped off or partitioned?

I realize some of this overlaps with my requests for the map, and I apologize for that. However, any information I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Personally, I'd like to know the location of the I-Beams on the map as well!

Good Afternoon,

This year in the Artist Alley, we will not be using any type of barrier around the outside perimeter this year. Just to clarify, there will not be a wall of curtains, ropes, or anything else dividing the artist alley from the rest of the convention space. The tables 1-15 back up to the exhibition space for the dealers hall. The convention attendees can enter the area from the top of the map (above tables 221-226)or from registration which will be next to the artist alley. I think there is one more main entrance but it slips my mind at the moment.

If you have any other questions, feel free to post them or send us an email.

That was quick. I see you updated the map as well. Thanks, you guys are great!

Actually, I do have one more question:

You said that there are no partitions along the outside barrier of AA. However, you also said that attendees can enter the area from the top of the map or from registration. Does this mean that someone coming from the registration line could see something they want on a table along the edge that includes 120 and 99 while walking by to go to the dealer area and walk right up to the table without going around a rope or anything?

In other words, is AA basically a completely open area? Sorry if I'm asking the same question again. I just want to be perfectly clear.

Yep.

In addition, anyone who is in Registration can see the entire Alley, so they can be prepared to shop.

Um I have a question too now!

So does that mean AA and exhibitors will have their backs to each other, or can con-goers walk up behind us? I ask because sometimes we can have personal items behind the table like cameras and purses I'd worry about.

AA and EH will be back to back, but attendees won't be walking behind those AA tables, or those EH booths.

Sorry about that. The edit is right next to the reply button, and I must have hit edit instead of reply. My bad, sorry. I can go back and change it if you want.
I didn't realize what you were saying, and then I was like, wait... that is what I typed. Wait where did my post go? ....

It's okay! At first I was super confused since there is no "edited by", but my husband who is an admin on another forum explained that admin rights can do that sometimes and we figured you probably hit edit instead of reply. It was pretty funny.
