I help run a gaming convention in Sweden (GothCon, the biggest and longest running gaming convention in Sweden). I’ve gone to this con every year since 2004. I’ve also been to several other cons in Sweden. And though there are differences, most of them have a lot of similar features. Nut whenever I hear of American or British gaming conventions, it seems like almost nothing there works the way I would expect it to from visiting and running a con in Sweden.
Now, I assume that a lot of you will be Americans (technically I’m also an American, but here I mean someone who actually lives in the US) or Brits. I also assume a lot of you will have gone to cons. So I figured it could be interesting if I post a bit about how Swedish gaming conventions, and especially GothCon, work, and you can tell me about cons in other countries. If you have experience with conventions in other countries than Sweden, the USA or the UK, feel free to post about them as well of course.
I’ll post about GothCon in my next post.
