We made some big changes this month. Here’s an update on the Golden Lock Award, news from RECON, and a few of our favorite reviews.
RECON News
RECON ticket holders have received their pre-registration survey, which helps the RECON team confirm badge information, customize RECON schedules, and shape the Birds of a Feather discussions.
RECON ticket holders also received access to discount codes for local Los Angeles escape rooms.
The talks are coming together. We have an enhanced Birds of a Feather design. The exhibit hall is almost completely full. And the ticket holder channel in the RECON Discord is buzzing!
Grab you ticket now, fill out your pre-registration survey, and join the conversation!
Golden Lock Award Changes
Starting this month, Golden Lock Awards are announced when a review publishes, with extra fanfare. We are celebrating each winner individually at the time of the review. Read about the changes here.
