How do I qualify for this special rate?

To qualify for this discounted rate, Hitchhike Across the Galaxy must be the first IAGSDC convention you have ever attended. When registering online, select “Dancer (special)” as the registration type.

We will validate whether you qualify against the convention attendance database. Once we confirm you qualify for the discount, we will approve your registration and you can then pay the discounted rate of $175.

This discount is a program of All Join Hands who will subsidize your registration fee at the prevailing rate when you registered.
