First night Conan briefly showed up, it was in the gaslamp near Spreckles or whatever I believe.  There's more info about it floating about, probably doesn't need to be fully repeated here.
It wasn't by Spreckels, it was somewhere on J Street over by Petco Park. Made it really easy to head over to the Walking Dead Escape right after.

That being said, if they do it this year, they may try a different venue

For those of us that got to attend Bingo, I'm glad I got to do it once in my lifetime. Sad to see it not returning.

Well crap. I was hoping to score a ticket. I wonder what the reason is for no-showing this time around?

Darn, I had been thinking of trying for bingo this year, too - especially since it's looking like I can't make one of the tapings. Oh well :(

I don't think it's no-showing, but I know what you mean.  I think the logistics that are involved is what makes it tough. Plus the food, but especially the alcohol. That's all pricey. Who knows, maybe Snickers wasn't able to sponsor them this year. Or they couldn't find anyone to take their place. An event like this, especially having it for 4 days, that's so much time, effort, and especially money involved. I can see why they weren't able to bring it back. No clue if this is what actually happened, but I can see it being the reason.

TBS marketing probably thought that it was better to spend the money having a booth on the exhibit floor than on Conan Bingo, considering only 500 people could participate in it.

Saw the news that it won't be returning this year. Would've loved to come to the event this year but too bad.

I'm also very disappointed it's not coming back. It would've been great for a first-timer like me. Maybe they'll surprise us with an evening event like Conan scratch-offs or Conan poker...
