The Glamourous Life of an Expo Organizer
Apr. 6th, 2009 12:20 pmOne of the (few) perks of my position as co-ordinator for GX is that I get to occasionally take a trip out to other gaming cons to network and other fancy things. The best one was a weekend trip Cynra & I took to Origins one year (which is probably one of my favourite gaming events). While I networked she got to enjoy the educational track they offer, which is quite interesting. All I can say is: Teachers get in free.
But that's neither here nor there.
Of course, GenCon, while being the big show, tends to be rather fruitless. Since it's generally 1-3 weeks before FanExpo, I'm either psychotically late to get anything done for that year's show, or so early that people forget about it completely and I give them a promotional package for nothing. Admittedly, it does mean I get to spend much of the weekend gaming and socializing, which is hardly a drawback.
So this year I'm going to be going to CanGames in Ottawa. This'll give me a chance to do some gaming with local folks (I believe I've signed up for one of your HEX games,
jkahane) and network with some people, as well as get to see what people are playing in a con setting in time to possibly get some games of that organized at GX.
So, yeah, that'll give me some gaming time up in Ottawa town, which I am looking forward to.
