Will there be an email or a post to the forum letting everyone know when the new VIG notifications go out? First year I’ve applied for it and I wasn’t sure how the process went.
not sure if it’s a single or multi round invite, but i received my email notification just before christmas. fwiw if you don’t get in you don’t get anything, i had many years of no emails.
You will not get an e-mail if you were not selected.
The first round of people selected have been notified by this time.
There is still a possible second (albeit smaller) round that may happen. This would be triggered if any returning VIGer does not renew for 2019. From my understanding there is always a small batch that open up due to this, but this year it might be slightly bigger since the "early exhibit hall access" was taken away.

So we may still receive a VIG invitation up to January 20, if we entered into the lottery, even if we haven't yet received one?
If we purchase a badge before then (on January 13) and are given that opportunity, do we then refund the original badges or is that just deducted from the VIG badge price?

If you do purchase a regular attendee badge we will refund it.
Is there a fee for a badge refund?
Did the second round go out yet?
Yes.

I think not, put it on your calendar!
I'm buying my son's badge this year (when he's 17). He'll be 18 later this year. What's the best way for him to enter but for me to pay for it (whether or not he gets VIG). Thanks!
This would be for next year since this years is sold out.
