VIP Meet & Greet

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

People ask us if we mean that this is a place where VIPs meet each other, or one wherein VIPs get exclusive access and chances to hang out and relax with many of our famed and talented performers and presenters and other prestigious folk.
It’s both! Our lovely meet and greet is a splendid time to make new friends, discover like-minded souls, speak to famous entertainers and Steampunk celebrities, and generally have a thoroughly grand time. This has historically been a popular event, and a much-desired perk.
