I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place or if this has already been answered, but as a newb to fanime I'd like to have a map of the general area and where things are supposed to be held. is this possible? is there already an existing map? if there is can someone link me it? thanks very much! <3
There will be a map in the program guide which will be in your goodie bag that you'll receive upon picking up your badge.

Huzzah goodie bags! But yeah, what he said. There will also be spare maps littered throughout the convention hall including restaurant maps!
In past years a map and program goes up on the website for download a week or two before con.
okay sounds good, but there wont be access to on before hand? if not oh well :3 so who knows what's in these goodie bags?
Sometimes you can go to San Jose's city website and get a map of the downtown area/where all the restaurants are. Think that was the one used as map one year.
goodie bags... last year it was a pocket guide, a nice big program, a little manga, some coupons for lollicups and stuff, a few advertisements, cool fanime bag... am i missing anything?

Some bags did have stuff that other bags didn't have. Stuff that we ran out of (no not advertisements).
Will we have to get the bags individually, or will group leaders be able to get one bag per card?

One bag per card.

hey moderators, would it be a copyright infringement to scan and post the map we got in our goodie bag booklets? cuz i could do that, but if it's not allowed i won't.
I will request that the map be placed on the web site. we will see what the higherups think.

Thank you very much :)
not to step on anyone toes--- especially you higher ups [please dont hurt me Ewu, Tony & etc] >_<
but here's a link for the official floor plan of the SJ Convention Center: [found on the SJCC website]
http://sanjose.org/meetings/facilities/floorplans/conv_layout.jpg
Looking at the Map: some things are to know---
"Left side of this map is known as Marriott hotel side"
"Right side of this map is known as Hilton hotel side"
Street Level [ aka 1st floor ]
Main entrance and Registration are is kinda given! Remember the registration hours are posted.
Exhibition Level [ aka 2nd foor AKA the Con Course ]
"Vista Point" ---> this is where Stage Zero will be
"Almaden Concourse" by Hitlon ---> this is where Maid Cafe will be!
That's all I can give out before I get myself into any more trouble for opening my big mouth. :-\
I don't see how you're going to get yourself in trouble. The map is free for anyone to look up and everything is pretty much in the same spot as last year and the year before that.
Last year at Fanime (Long Time Vet here) The Convention used pocket sized con event schedule books and also the Map of the Entire Layout of the Convention is there as well. Since this idea was popular and also reduced waste due to its convenience of being pocket sized I have a feeling Fanime Con will go back to this Pocket Sized guide and will be included in all goodie bags that also has the program guide once you get you membership badge.
A week or two before the con there will be a link at the very front of the Fanime Main Website page showing the finalized Master Event Schedule so all you can do right now is wait.

just remember that Rovers and super elite executive staff has special easter eggs all around the convention center...
like secret passage ways, hidden rooms and caves that lead to pirate treasure, but...

It's not like the convention center has a Room of Requirement that will just spontaneity change based on the whim of some random investor. Regardless of any 'easter eggs' and whatnot are floating around, the map of the center is the same and most, if not all, of the major events seem to be in the same spot they've been in for the last so many years.

That's true, but we're rather paranoid about releasing incorrect data. That stuff has a way of spreading like a virus and confusing people, so we hold the staff to a pretty high standard on not spreading bad info.

It's not budgeted yet, but the Fanime blimp will be there too. There's a rope climb up from registration which is pretty tough, but the fireman's pole down from the blimp will be awesome. IMHO, its the best way to get from reg to stage zero, the stairs are LAME.

Yeah the blimp will be far and away a vast improvement over the helicopter rope ladder entry from last year. I told the pilot that installing an ejection seat was a bad idea in a helicopter...>_<
There's an awesome map that is usually found in the program book.
