2011

In the life of any event there are three phases each with a visibly public and a necessarily private side to them. For me, those phases are:

PHASE 1 - which visibly is a whisper campaign but privately is the preliminary planning stage.

PHASE 2 – this is the launch of the event where publically it is discussed, promotional material becomes available and the campaign pack goes live (usually in that order). Behind the scenes it is the point that an event becomes tangible to the public and so there is a degree of commitment and obligation involved.

PHASE 3 – Is the week of the launch of the event itself. Behind the scenes it is the most intensive period of activity. Regardless of the intent of the previous two stages, it is phase three that determines whether you delivered the promise of the event and ultimately whether or not the event as a whole is successful.

With the Wrath of Nagash moving towards Phase Three, Siege of Terra now mid-way into Phase Two and the Scouring entering Phase One, I cast my eye to the horizon and begin to paint broad brushstrokes to outline what shape 2011 will take.

Actually a few people have already brought May and September 2011 into Phase One already by whispering about it. May is correctly titled as AoA: TNTI and September is AoA: TRoB. More to be revealed later...

2011 is a special year for the Fugitives. It will be five years of event running and by the end of 2011 we will have presented fifteen different events.
