Convention 101

Season 2, Ep. 24

PAX, GenCon, Big Bad Con, FlameCon, etc. There are so many different conventions and ways to meet other folks who share similar passions to you, but cons can also be large, overwhelming, and difficult spaces to navigate. Today's chat is all about how to try and have the best con experiences one can have! We have assembled a great group who offer up some really good insights!
