Welcome newcomers! We’re glad to have you here! We may not post often but we are always scheming err planning, yes planning….

blizzcon.comAn Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live EventsWhat’s to come in 2024 for our players and communities.

26 Apr 2024

With the news of no Blizzcon in 2024, there won't be a CBTS event either. We’ll continue to work with our contacts around Blizzard's plans for future in person events that bring the community together and how CBTS can help enhance those experiences. blizzcon.com/en-us/news/2...

We are sad to announce we will not be having a live CBTS event at Blizzcon 2023. Unfortunately there were too many logistical obstacles to overcome. We have exhausted our resources before coming to this decision.

4. The company we worked with to handle tax and legal matters has been unresponsive, so working to figure out those ramifications (taxes, legal responsibility, etc) ourselves has been challenging on next steps.

Creating a new entity would also delay fundraising as it would require creating a new legal/tax entity, creating new business accounts, etc. These entities would then need to be vetted by fundraising orgs (i.e. Kickstarter).

2. Several vendors we used in the past, sadly didn't make it through the pandemic and we had to search for new vendors, which required getting quotes for items, services, etc.

3. Receiving total costs to help determine funding targets took too long from several new vendors, some haven't even responded to our inquiries.

Below are just a handful of our challenges we ran up against: 1. Late announcement of Blizzcon put logistical timelines of fundraising, acquiring items, receiving funds and then paying vendors appropriately unrealistic, this left little time to planning the event (reminder…

the organizers do this as a side project, this is not our full time job).

We had several folks reach out offering to volunteer and we appreciate that, and volunteers was never an issue to executing this fan focused event and thats because of the awesome community.
