Read Things to Keep in Mind for Conventions

Excerpt: With all of my talk about DragonCon and other conventions, you might be interested in visiting a convention at some point. Here's a few things to keep in mind about conventions. -Nearly every single convention has a website. If you find a convention that you think could be interesting, look them up. There should be information about what the convention is geared towards and how many people they've had in the past. -The number of people is highly important, if you're not comfortable in large crowds, it'd be a good idea to stay away from huge conventions. That being said, some big conventions are good at spreading people out and giving them enough room, while some smaller conventions cram too many people into a small space. -Be prepared. Take along...Read More at Things to Keep in Mind for Conventions

Read Learning What Works and What Doesn't

Excerpt: DragonCon's had 27 conventions over the years, so they've slowly learned how to handle things. Even so, they're still learning and changing and growing, and so are their attendees. For example, they've streamlined the pre-registration process, people bring in a postcard with a bar code on it. If their postcard never arrived or if they left it at home, they can...Read More at Learning What Works and What Doesn't

Read Keeping Everyone Up to Date

Excerpt: While I was at DragonCon, I volunteered in the registration department helping both pre-registered attendees and people who were just arriving to register. As such, I saw many, many people pass my way. Most were cheerful and didn't have a problem, some had easily solvable problems, and others had problems caused by misinformation that they were given by convention workers. DragonCon's been going on for a long time, so it's understandable that some of the workers who have been there for years get confused on the new practices from year to year, but at the same time, they need to know this year's policies to make sure that...Read More at Keeping Everyone Up to Date

Read Keeping an Eye Out for Opportunity

Excerpt: While at DragonCon this past weekend, I was reminded several times of the importance of taking advantage of opportunities when they appear before you. For example, I had been talking to one of the special guests about appearing at another convention. I gave him what information I had on it and went on my merry way. As I was volunteering at registration, the con chair, the guy running the other convention, showed up. I told him about the special guest being interested in his convention, so he gave me his card to relay to the special guest. As soon as I had the opportunity, I went back to the guest and passed along the card. If circumstances hadn't been right...Read More at Keeping an Eye Out for Opportunity

Read Networking Comes in All Shapes and Sizes

Excerpt: Several days ago, I made a mention that I was away on vacation. I was at DragonCon in Atlanta. The next few blog posts are going to be about DragonCon and other conventions, there's a lot to learn from them. While I was there for fun purposes, it also was a perfect place for networking and business.

Not to mention all of the volunteers and workers that run the convention. So, there's a huge number of people from all walks of life. Young and old, you see all ages there.
