I'll tell you in about a week! From what I understand, there will be alcohol, but it's for the 100 people who purchased the top-tier tickets. It's supposed to last an hour or so with the guests moving around the room - they aren't tables, so people will be standing around chatting.
Chevron will be my third con (I've been to Creation's Burbank con and Pegasus3), so I guess I'm not totally up on what a con is. I will say it seems the UK cons generally focus a little more on the con as a social event (there are parties every night for everyone) and seem a little more relaxed in the handling of guests (who seem to have a few more chances to interact with attendees). What's also interesting for Chevron are the guest encounters - there will be 2 auctions with 20 slots for each of the guests, people can bid on (it's on paper - everyone who wins pays the lowest winning bid amount) a 45min- hour long tea.
Apparently the talks will also be multiple guests on stage together - so Joe and Jason together!
