Do have to change it to that person name as well? Also Are we aloud to go outside get something to eat ( There is Pizza place on corner ) & come back in again? The second question: Yes, but make sure your hand gets a stamp when you leave to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing to do is to apply for accessibility access https://www.londonfilmandcomiccon.com/index.php/accessibility or bring someone with you to help if you can. Alternatively, if it's acceptable to you the only other thing I can think of is to make sure you find the crew member running the queue in question and maybe have something printed up in bold clear to read type that tells them you can't hear what they are saying and need to be specifically informed when it is your turn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be happy to help where possible (i.e. same autograph/photoshoot queue). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year (my first LFCC), I had hoped that, in addition to shouting the numbers for the VQ and photos, there'd be some sort of signage (white board, TV screen, ... heck, a constantly updating LFCC app would be amazing), but no luck. I assume those things are cost-prohibitive (or dependent on better wifi). I mean, I'm hearing, but still missed a bunch of the announcements, and was constantly asking people, "which group are they on?" On the plus side, everyone seemed pretty friendly and willing to fill in a stranger on whatever I'd missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1970 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 A Showmaster/LFCC app would be amazing, with info about photo ops, talks, autos (VQ ticket and DP info) Changes, cancels and late additions. Maps and other useful information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maps and other useful information. I did mention this in my feedback last year. Working in the app/web industry as I do however, the cost is prohibitively expensive to invest in unless you can somehow hammer an off the shelf package to fit your needs which might not work quite as well as you want it to.

Would be interested to know from mods or organisers, has sign language ever been offered as a support option during main stage talks at any SM events? Starting to see it more often these days as I go around different events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I thought there’d be some sort of signs with the Pass/VQ numbers held at signing and photo-op booths so you can just check them out every now and then and not hang around the area/ask the staff at all times, is that not the case? I read about it somewhere, but maybe that’s just what they the plan to do and then things get in the way when it gets too chaotic? Or is the “usual policy” to just shout out the numbers, and everything else is extra? Since this year will be my first LFCC I’d rather know and be prepared to what awaits me, so I don’t feel too lost on the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pir8Jenny Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I had REALLY expected signs (ideally, large ones) for the super-crowded things, like the Cumberbatch photo shoot. Instead, it was a dude with a megaphone. He was announcing things like how much time it will be until the later groups get called (so to not wait around and instead go wander the con floor), but not everyone could understand what he was saying. (I found, "pardon me, did you make that out?" to be a great conversation-starter.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
