Hello everyone

Just to let you all know why we have changed the date again for Autographica.

It will now take place on 11th-13th sept 2015 at the Radisson heathrow.

We had booked the October date and were all set to go. Unfortunately this date clashed with the rugby World Cup and all the London heathrow hotels decided to double the hotel room rates.

During the World Cup period.

This would have meant that the room rate would have been unnacceptable to most of our attendees.

So rather than accept that we have decided to go for a September date outside the World Cup.

The September dates room rates will be the same as usual.

Hope you all understand why we had to make that decision.

See you all in April at the jerry Ross event.

Sorry you feel that way, however if you book on the autographica room rate you do not need to pay until the day.

We do not deliberately change dates unless it is absolutely necessary.

In this case we felt that attendees would rather change their plans than have to pay double the usual room rate.

We have changed the date as soon as we found out about the room rate changes and that gives you about 7 months to change plans.

It's an inconvenience but I think you should be upset with greedy hotels cashing in on the Rugby World Cup. If it's a choice between doubling the fees or moving the date then I think most of us would prefer to move the show.
