Simple enough really.
Although this year the darling of the show is undoubtably going to be Valkyrie, there are usually plenty enough Eve players that also play Dust that are there as well.
So if you are already booked to go or almost certainly going to go, let yourself be known here.
With the news that Dust is going to PC they'll be quite a few Eve players as well that'll be expressing an interest in the game (finally.... bit late to the party but lets just embrace the fact you showed up at all), so it'll be good for any Dust Vets going to let themselves be known and answer any questions for them.
So Yeah I'm obviously going.

I know many things.
But one thing I do know that Dust 2.0's presence at Fanfest will be very low key. Valkyrie will be the star of the show with it only being out a month at that point.
I'm just wanting to get a sense of the numbers so that we can all maybe meet up during the three days.

I went before I was a Dust player when I was a Eve player mainly. But really enjoy it while there regardless. Love Reykjavik. It's one of those places where you visit and with 48hrs of arriving you're looking at house prices and rental costs.

Other than the Fanfest itself, there are a couple of other events that if its your first visit to Iceland you should go to with your fellow New Eden Citizens.
The Golden Circle tour where you see some of the natural sights of Iceland and the Blue Lagoon hangover trip on the Sunday. And the pub crawl. You have to do the pub crawl.

A lot of CCP employees join pub crawl actually, and it is a ton of fun. I'll be there - again - and I hope I can have a group of Mercenaries - again - with me to crawl from pub to pub.
This is very true.
Nearly all the Dev's go on the crawl and despite what the naysayers might say the Dust group is always full and have a lot of fun. There is going to be a focus on Valkyrie obviously this year but there is still going to be other things to do if last year is anything to go by.
The CCP Atlanta office is now the VR 'Shunkworks' for the company and there was a number of really cutting edge demo's of the tech. If you had even a passing interest is game design in any way, there are a number of round tables. presentations and demonstrations about the backroom stuff that makes a game. Most is New Eden and Eve orientated of course but its still fascinating. One of my favourites is the sound design round table being something of a gaming audiophile myself.
The Dev's are also very open, willing to talk to the players and are hungry for feedback.
Also even though not of the CPM got to go last year, we got a ton of discussion and stuff sorted with Rattati, Frame and Rouge so I was always busy.
More details of Dust 2.0 will be shared and the Dev's making it will be there for you to give feedback about it. I don't know what Frame is cooking for Fanfest but he's busy doing it and I'm looking forward to seeing the results.
But obviously it's up to you guys to go or not. I'll be updating you as much as I can via the forums and social media. But even if you just go because you've wanted to visit Iceland you'll still have fun and be surrounded by like minded gamers who essentially take over the most northern capital in the world over for a week.
