Registration Update

Happy New Year everyone!  Less than a year until Unicon XV so it’s time for another update.

We are currently working hard to get the registration system online, which should be up by the end of February.  It is based on the Unicon 14 registration system designed by Robin Dunlop.  We have also been working on the current website and uploading more information for Unicon participants.  Check out the event Venue and Maps which have just been put online.

In terms of accomodation, the Unicon organising committee has arranged sponsorshiip from three accomodation providers.  They are very close to the Unicon venues, and have some excellent facilities.  More information on this page: Accomodation

New Logo

Congratulations to Sam Wakeling whose competition entry was selected to be the official Unicon XV logo, which appears on the web site, medals, advertising material and merchandise. Go Sam!

Thanks to the many other entrants: some excellent work. There was a fair bit of discussion about the merits of each before we finally decided on the winner.
