<strong>WHAT</strong>: Roller Derby Convention<br />
<strong>WHERE</strong>: Las Vegas, NV, USA<br />
<strong>WHEN</strong>: July 28 - Aug 1 (always the last week of July every year!)<br />
<strong>WHO</strong>: Derby players of ALL SKILL LEVELS, coaches, league members, refs, posses, fans and anyone else interested in derby.<br />
<strong>WHY</strong>: Because RollerCon is the one place you can pack this much skating, training, seminars, challenges, bouts, scrimmages, vendors and more and more skating into in 5 days - still.<br />
&nbsp;
<p>If you have never been to RollerCon, you will probably be fairly overwhelmed.  If you haven&#8217;t been in longer than a couple years, you might want to check your expectations.  I hear from a lot of vets how they don&#8217;t have travel money for a party anymore - which is, really, how RollerCon started.  But its only a party now if you want it to be (or you&#8217;re injured and can&#8217;t skate).  There is so much going on at every skill and interest level now that you can get whatever you want out of the RollerCon convention.  </p>
<p><strong>RollerCon is what you want it to be.</strong></p>
<p>A training camp.<br />
A place to see amazing skating.<br />
A place to skate with and against people you admire.<br />
A chance to for old dogs to learn new skills.<br />
A spot to to check out the latest in derby gear.<br />
A pool party with the biggest girl gang on earth.<br />
A place for vets to scrimmage without the usual pressure.<br />
A track for beginners to learn on.<br />
A place to go to seminars on any derby subject under the (blazing) sun.<br />
A chance to meet your idols.<br />
A chance to beat your idols.<br />
&#8230; and more.</p>
<p>~<br />
The RollerCon website has been updated and recently reorganized.  There is a LOT of info here, so here&#8217;s a cheat sheet to help you find the info you might need:</p>
<p>Most of the RC Events have their own page under the 
<a  href="http://www.rollercon.net/events/">EVENTS</a> tab, above.  Hover over the word &#8220;<strong>EVENTS</strong>&#8221; to see each page. This area gets the most traffic!</p>
<p>If you check out any of the 
<a  href="http://www.rollercon.net/events/"><strong>SCHEDULES</strong></a> and wonder why the calendars are blank, for now its because we&#8217;re still planning events.  Later, once we do have stuff planned, if you still can&#8217;t see events, have you scrolled to the right dates?</p>
<p><strong>General info</strong> is mostly under the &#8220;
<a  href="http://www.rollercon.net/about/"><strong>ABOUT</strong></a>&#8221; link, for example, the 
<a  href="http://www.rollercon.net/about/the-history-of-rollercon/">history of RC</a>, our p
