Phoenix Rising's Artists and Authors Night showcases the many facets of the Harry Potter fan community, and as part of that, Phoenix Rising has created the Wireless Web Network to feature those fan groups and websites that have supported our conference through sponsorship. Any sponsorship of Phoenix Rising by the fan community, from a programming session to a major event, from an auction item to a Quidditch team, comes with a complimentary table in our Wireless Web Network room during Artists and Authors Night.

Modeled after the famous WWN Magical Fair, the Wireless Web Network provides an exciting and unique opportunity for groups and websites to highlight the creativity and diversity that they bring to the fan community — and for attendees to discover new aspects of the fandom. Tables can be used for a multitude of purposes, including meeting attendees, handing out trinkets, or performing demonstrations. To encourage attendees to stop at your booth, the Wireless Web Network will offer a trivia challenge — and attendees will have to visit the participating tables to discover the answers!

The Wireless Web Network will be available throughout the entirety of the Artists and Authors Night. Participating groups may select their table's location according to amount of sponsorship, and the top three sponsors will each receive two tables instead of one. All participating sponsors finalized by March 1, 2006 will be listed as a regular sponsor in the program book, and also on a special WWN page; moreover, Phoenix Rising will include a small blurb about the top 50% of participants by amount and a small picture for the top 25%. In addition, all sponsors will be listed on our website, again as regular sponsors and on a special WWN page.

Obtaining a table in the Wireless Web Network during Artists and Authors Night at Phoenix Rising is simple. Your group just needs to participate in some form of sponsorship. Please see our Sponsorship Kit or contact the sponsorship team at help@thephoenixrises.org to discuss all sponsorship options. Any Harry Potter fan group, website, community, 'ship, meet-up, archive, forum or other fan organization that sponsors any portion of Phoenix Rising may participate in the Wireless Web Network, though participation is limited to those groups and websites that are primarily non-commercial fandom participants.
