Disclaimer in the Speedpass - This is just front of the line.   If you are not into panels or getting tons of autographs don't bother. 

One thing is they always have the front rows at main panels blocked off.  Even with the speed pass you will not get front row!  (you use to and it was amazing, plus you got a free autograph, and more merchandise).  I felt that was important to point out.  Over the years there is a lot of grumbling on their Facebook about the changes to the speed pass.   It will still sell out in a reasonable time but know you are just paying for convenience, not special treatment.   

It's rare that their panels completely fill up but it does happen.  So if it's an important panel be prepared to line up early (the panel before, this is not SDCC).  With the speed pass you can exit and go back into the speed pass line.  Like I said convenience.

I don't plan to.  I have my nieces come into town that weekend and I found it overwhelming to have visitors and try to write about the event.  This year I am just focusing on them.

I plan to do some press for it. I’m applying for a panel again next year.

How was it last year? I attended the previous 4 years, but skipped last year after being disappointed with the con organizers and lack of interesting guests.

Their guest list this year is impressive!

I just noticed that many of the big name guests tend to cancel right before DCC. I'm sure this happens at other cons, but it was crazy how many cancellations happened last year/the prior year.

No surprise when they are motivated by money.

I guess when u try plan to meet and greet anyone but they decide to cancel then always have a back up plan so any cancelled appearances does not ruin ur fun at any con at time.  i learning as so many cons have been created now days, not all guest canbe at all cons. but do try enjoy those who try to make at any con.

It has been my experience that the con was better organized, with more entertaining guests/panels about five years ago, and things changed when one of the original planners/founders left the board. I love everything they do for charity and love the focus on education and literacy, I just wish they would bring in people with thorough event planning backgrounds in addition to those they already have who understand how to run a nonprofit. With a few changes, this con could be even better. It was amazing in 2013 and 2014.

I do agree it was better in the earlier days but I don't think it was better organized.  It was a mess!   

Now it is better organized but the more personable to the fans is lost with this.  It use to be fans could get the the front row for main panels and now it's all blocked off. 

They struggle with they have the numbers for a large con but it's just a small local con at the same time so they don't attract as much.   I keep hoping that will change but I agree those who run it now don't have the skill to bring it to the next level.   If you want that you need to travel to NYCC or SDCC.

I enjoy it for what it is but I wouldn't encourage people to travel to it.  Just go if you live here.  Unless you want to see me of course.

I think it is having growing pains like all big Cons.

Agreed, they definitely want to be on the map but they have a long way to go to make it happen.   It's more than growing pains though, they have a huge issue with booking talent.   They have to find away around that to make the next step.  Luckily I'm not a professional so I don't have to worry about fixing it :) 

The key may be stop having it on Fathers day weekend.  The year it was memorial day weekend was the worst in cancellations.
