ProductionCONN 2011 Program Slideshow

ProductionCONN 2011 Opens its Doors TOMORROW!

PCONN's Jeremy & Josh Hanging Signs at Set-Up

ProductionCONN staff, exhibitors, and partners have been busy at work setting up for tomorrow's opening day--after over a year and a half of tireless planning, it's finally here!

Online ticket sales are now closed, but you may register at the door! (Students & teachers--be sure to bring your ID to receive 50% off on-site registration.) Think you may want to take an additional workshop once you get here? All attendees may also add on to their existing programs at any time, just look for one of our staffers to assist you (we'll all be dressed in jeans and black shirts as a thinly-veiled homage to Steve Jobs). Doors open Wednesday at 10AM at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (100 Berlin Rd., Cromwell, CT 06416).

Here are some of the highlights to expect from this event:
