D&D 4E 4e at Origins 2008?

[parcival42]

Just a quick question that I'm having trouble finding an answer to:
Will the "Official" 4E roll-out be at this year's Origins convention? I seem to remember the designers saying something to that effect soon after the 4E announcement last year, but I'm having trouble finding confirmation of this now. I'd like to get a group of friends motivated to go if this is the case, but I don't want to start making plans if I'm wrong...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does anyone have any clue?

If so nothing has been said. Origins would probably be advertisings it if they were.

From the WotC folks I spoke with at D&DXP, I'd be surprised if anything significant is released at Origins. Gen Con is the more likely spot for any sort of big 4E release.

My understanding is that Living Greyhawk will have its final hurrah (from an official standpoint) at Origins, with Living Forgotten Realms having a debut of sorts at Gen Con.

Note that the core rules for 4E should come out before both Origins and Gen Con, but it could be *right before* Origins, making planning scheduled games difficult. I'd expect to see a lot of 4E demos at Gen Con.
