Con*Strict et al

[ride_4ever]

Here I am, about to leave for my fourth fancon of the year, and I haven't blogged any comments about the other three yet. *con reportage fail*

Leaving in three days for the Con*Strict slash con in Nevada (and it's only the love of fandom that could get me to go to a desert in the summer).

I certainly do know of stay-over cons in Europe, but it's also a matter of whether we are talking about for-profit cons or fan-run cons. The con comm (convention committee) of a fan-run con held at a hotel does get involved with arranging hotel accommodations for con attendees.

There's no one answer to "how does one prepare to mod a panel" because it depends on the nature of the panel topic and the personal presentation style of the mod or co-mods.

I didn‘t even know there were for-profit cons. Shows what I (don‘t) know LOL.

It would have been more accurate if I said "conventions run as a professional business venture" versus "fan-run conventions whose goal is not a business venture, but may need to make some profit just to cover the expense of running the con".
