CON LOCATION
The Maritim Hotel Düsseldorf (to be opened in Dec 2007) is situated directly next to Düsseldorf airport (with direct access to the check-in areas). The A44 highway has an exit practically directly in front of the hotel entrance, and even by public transport this location is easy to reach.
All meeting rooms and facilities come equipped with state-of-the-art technology, and the main auditorium allows optimum visibility from all seats due to its oval shape.
It's simply the ideal place to have JEDI-CON 2008!
STAR GUESTS
In time-honored JEDI-CON 2008 tradition, guest stars from both sides of the camera will chat about the last 30 years and about the future of the saga of course. One confirmed guest appearance is that of "JEDI-CON veteran" Steve Sansweet (Lucasfilm Director of Content Management and Head of Fan Relations as well as the owner of the world's largest Star Wars collection).
