The Pocket Guide is a small booklet printed and distributed freely by the convention. The pocket guide is printed on newsprint, making it easy to roll up or fold and place in a pocket. The Pocket Guide is handed out at registration and a limited supply is sometimes available at the information booths.

Inside the pocket guide is useful information. In the center of the guide is the schedule grid for all Programming Tracks. This list all panels and events scheduled for the convention just prior to printing. Be sure to check the Daily Dragon for schedule changes! Schedule changes will happen.

Also in the guide is maps of the hotels. Some, like the Hyatt, can be a little confusing when it comes to finding rooms. If you're looking for a specific vendor, a map of the dealer room and exhibition halls is also included.

Other information in the guide includes which events are on Dragon ConTV, rules of the convention, and more.

Digital copies can be downloaded from the Dragon Con webpage, typically 1-2 weeks prior to the convention.
