Thank you to all of those who made our 2009 convention such a success. Despite the economic difficulties - a record crowd of 7,042 attended our convention, a 35% increase over our 2008 show. We couldn't have done this show with the support of our attendees, guests, volunteers, and staff.

We're moving!

We are moving to the Phoenix Convention Center and the Hyatt Regency downtown Phoenix for our 2010 convention to be held May 27-30, 2010. We will be tripling in the size of our exhibitor hall and in the amount of programming space we dedicate. With the addition of the Hyatt - we will also have nighttime and evening parties, sketch slams, art auctions, and dances.

Membership Pricing:

We are striving to keep our prices as low as possible for our 2010 convention, especially in light of the current economic crisis. We will have all pricing online and ready beginning of August.

Guests, Programming, and those fun exclusives:

We have begun the process of inviting guests, seeing who's available and interested. We should have our first set of guests online beginning of August.

From September 10–13, 2009, the D23 Expo will transform the Anaheim Convention Center into the single largest gathering of all things Disney ever assembled in one place at one magical time. The incredible experiences, exhibits and presentations at the Expo are another way D23 will connect fans to the timeless stories, characters and amazing worlds that we create here at Disney.

Guests entering the main showroom floor of the Convention Center will discover exciting pavilions from every part of The Walt Disney Company. Each will offer unique, immersive experiences the whole family can enjoy. The Walt Disney Studios, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Disney Consumer Products, Walt Disney Imagineering, ABC, Disney Channel and ESPN — to name a few — will all be featured. There will be surprising gallery events, author and artist appearances and signings and even a beautiful Disney Dream Home to walk through. Radio Disney will rock the Expo every day, and you can expect your favorite Disney stars to make appearances throughout the event. And please stay tuned!... We created this mini site to keep you up to date about the Expo, providing ticket information and online ordering, the latest event information and everything you need to know to plan your ultimate Disney fan experience!

After all there is a lot to choose from, including the eye-popping Disney Dream Store, which will offer an unbelievable shopping experience bursting with products from every corner of the Company. The Dream Store will also house merchandise that's exclusive to the Expo, including magnificent pieces created just for D23 members from the Walt Disney Archives Collection.

Also nearby is the expansive Collectors' Forum, just one of several interactive forums made especially for Disney fans. At the Collectors' Forum, fans can buy, sell and trade from their Disney collectibles — in short, it's a massive Pin Trading headquarters that's perfect for both casual collectors and ardent enthusiasts.

The Center's spectacular 5,000-seat arena is where top Disney creative executives — including Disney President and CEO Bob Iger and Walt Disney Animation and Pixar Animation Studios Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter — will deliver keynote addresses, and also where Disney fans will be dazzled by fantastic fashion shows and live performances. Upstairs from the main halls, the Center's five enormous ballrooms will be transformed into the giant Walt Disney Studio Theater, where Walt Disney Pictures will offer continuous presentations and screenings of thrilling upcoming fare, including the latest animated and live-action films, as well as sneak peeks at the latest Disneynature and Muppets offerings and more. Expect a few special surprise appearances as the Studio provides thrilling sneak peek from Disney's A Christmas Carol and Prince of Persia to The Princess and the Frog and Toy Story 3.

Expo show floor hours will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, but there will be a number of screenings and events throughout the evening, including trhe "50 and Fabulous" Film Festival. This spectacular event is open to both D23 members and the general public, but D23 members will receive a discount on Expo tickets, as well as special early entry to the event starting at 8 a.m.

If ConDor were a person, it would be your favorite uncle from out of town who visits once a year and brings toys and games. You know, the one your parents aren't too happy with, because he shoots from the hip and always tells the truth, no matter what.

ConDor is a comfortable convention. You can actually find time to sit in the big comfy chairs in the hotel lobby and gossip for a while, or even just read a book. You can meet all your old friends here, and make a bunch of new ones.

If ConDor were a tv show, it would be "I Dream of Jeannie," where science fiction and fantasy get along happily together, along with a little romance and some healthy laughs.

If ConDor were a zoo...well, hey, there are some who say it is! But it's a happy little zoo, where there aren't any bars on the cages, and, in fact, nobody is completely sure who are the exhibits and who are the visitors!

Come to ConDor, the convention that isn't afraid to mix metaphors.

The primary focus of ArmadilloCon is literary science fiction, but that's not all we do -- we also pay attention to art, animation, science, media, and gaming. Every year, dozens of professional writers, artists and editors attend the convention. We invite you to attend the convention especially if you are a fan of reading, writing, meeting, sighting, feeding, knighting, and all the other things folks do at a sci-f/fantasy convention.

As an added bonus this year, we are one week after the 67th WorldCon in Montreal, so swing by Austin on your way home and meet the group that previous Fan Guest of Honor Patty Wells calls "those crazy Texans".

The CTN Animation Expo is a unique event that brings these creative talents together by providing a collaborative arena in the heart of the animation market to promote employment, education and industry growth --- and have some FUN doing it!

"Jobs come and go and projects fail or flourish but the one thing that remains constant is the talent is still talented." ~Tina Price the Owner of The Creative Talent Network.

CTN is a self funded community with the support of it's sponsors and professional members. All profits return to the community in the form of upgraded service, educational programs, promotional tools, inspiring workshops and networking opportunities. CTN events help talented artists connect, get jobs and reach their goals both locally and internationally each and every year with a portion of the proceeds going towards the CTN Scholarship Fund.
