Everyone to the conference room!
It’s time for a Michael Scott-style reunion to fill Floridians in on everything they need to know if they’re heading to the Miami Airport Convention Center this weekend for “The Reunion” — a fan convention for “The Office.”
Nearly 30 cast members from the hit series will be in attendance, headlined by Rainn Wilsonwho played Dwight Schrute.
Fans can get autographs, take pictures with their favorite characters and participate in a variety of events – like panels, Q&A sessions, cosplay contests, a Saturday night comedy show and a pretzel eating contest hosted by Stanley (Leslie David Baker).
“The Office” hosted the Dundie Awards. “The Reunion” hosted the Fundie Awards, a ceremony that will take place at the end of each day to celebrate the winners of the day’s cosplay, trivia, pretzel eating contest, and more.
“If you’re an ‘Office’ fan, this is the place to be,” said Arnold Cuervo, co-founder of “The Reunion”. “It’s once in a lifetime.”
As for convention-goer behavior, just follow Dwight’s advice: “Every time I’m about to do something, I ask myself, ‘Would an idiot do that?’ And if he did, I wouldn’t do it.”
Here’s everything you need to know about attending “The Reunion.”

“Les Retrouvailles” will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 13 and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 14 at the MACC.

Once the doors open, expect fans to enter like Stanley on Pretzel Day. VIP badge holders can enter at 10 a.m. General admission ticket holders can enter at 11 a.m.
Lines can also start forming early, so it’s best to arrive early. Or as Dwight says: “Five minutes early. Right on time.”

Backpacks, purses and diaper bags are permitted, but will be searched by security prior to entry.
Which ‘The Office’ Cast Members Will Be at ‘The Reunion’?

How to buy tickets for autographs and photoshoots?
VIP and entry tickets do not include autographs, selfies, or photo ops. These tickets must be purchased separately in advance or on the day of the event. Tickets for Rainn Wilson autographs and selfies must be pre-ordered online prior to the event. Autographs and selfies can be purchased at other celebrity guests’ tables, but most are cash only. Discounts for autographs and selfies are also available.
Professional photoshoots can be purchased on the website or in person on the day.
Can I bring my own item to be signed?
A jelly mold with a stapler inside signed by Rainn Wilson? A photo of Sprinkles the cat signed by Angela Kinsey? A bottle of liquor signed by Kate Flannery? A Dundie Award, Funko Pop, poster, photo or object signed by an actor? Yes to everything!
Cast members will sign almost anything except weapons or other harmful or offensive items.
Complimentary 8×10 photos will also be available at each guest’s table, if needed for an autograph.
How many people can participate in my photoshoot?
Up to four people can participate in a professional photoshoot with a celebrity guest. Please arrive at the photoshoot area no later than 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time. Photoshoots include an 8×10 print and a high-resolution digital download.
What kind of photoshoots can I take?
Take a professional photo with your favorite character from “The Office” or recreate scenes from the show with cast members who appeared in it. The full photoshoot schedule is available here available on the “La Réunion” website.
Pose with Rainn Wilson next to Dwight Schrute’s brown Pontiac Firebird Trans AM. Recreate the scene where Michael Scott hits Meredith with his car by sitting in the driver’s seat of a PT Cruiser while Kate Flannery lies on the hood. Play the drums while David Wallace (Andy Buckley) plays the keyboard while wearing his yellow “Suck It!” sweatshirt.
Stand between Rainn Wilson and Angela Kinsey as “Monkey” and “Possum” reunite for photoshoots.
Or just take a group photo with the whole gang: Dwight, Angela, Stanley, Meredith, Toby, Oscar, Creed, Jan, Roy, and David Wallace. Tell everyone that Michael, Jim, and Pam weren’t in the office that day.
