Well, we are back safe and sound from Mobicon 2016 and it was quite a blast!
I certainly feel like the whole ‘baptism-of-fire’ thing has come and gone. There are certainly things I could have done better, both in planning and in execution, but I’ve been lucky to have gotten tons of advice from my fellow local authors. All in all, things felt like they went well and I certainly felt like I hit a certain groove by late Friday.
The big things I learned to improve on for the future:
- Get prepared EVEN SOONER. It allows for greater flexibility and fiscal planning.
- Branded tat! I knew this ahead of time, but I failed to take full advantage due to some last minute changes of planning and unexpected front-end expenses.
- Incorporate some more three-dimensionality in the displays, both to improve table use and to help catch eyes.
So the next confirmed con visit is Kansas City Comic Con in August! More info and updates to come!
