Con Travelling Guide

[devianttide]

This is just a suggestion I thought I'd put out there for people since I know some are flying in/driving to vancouver for this convention. So it's likely that people would have to do the same to go to conventions outside of the city right?

Basically what would be happening in this panel is a small guide of what to do when you're thinking about travelling to other cities to attend conventions including: shortening travel costs, essentials of what to bring, how to pack, etc. This is more directed towards people who don't or rarely travel to conventions outside of the city but there may be some tips that other multi-city con-goes may have not heard of before.

Would anybody be interested in attending this possible panel?

While I don't know if I would attend this, I would be more than willing to help out! I've traveled to many a con and traveled a lot just in general, so I have a lot of experience. If ever you need someones brain to pick I'd be more than happy!

This should be run as a roundtable audience participation panel as I'm sure many of us have managed to travel to conventions on shoestring budgets. AE2010 my total cost of traveling from Victoria, after food and all, was like $50 for Thursday to Sunday.

I was actually thinking of having that happen afterwards since the presentation itself would probably last maybe 15-20 minutes. Discussion has to start somewhere, so I thought that we could get the ball rolling with having one person's way of travelling and have other people expand on different aspects based on their own experiences.

If you base your slideshow around taking pauses for discussion (actually put in slides that open the floor) and then have a limited amount of time for each topic discussion, you can stretch that 20 to a full hour and get the audience involved from start to finish.
