my first ANE was probably one of my favorite cons! personally i learned a lot about how i should be doing my cons to maximize enjoyment. one on one conversations in quieter spaces with new friends brought me so much joy.
thanks to everyone who made time for me and all my new and existing friends 🥰

my only complaint is the lobby where everyone hangs is far too small/weirdly shaped for that many people. i’m hoping they expand into the attached convention center in the coming years 🙏
the con staff did a great job ensuring walkways/lines stayed clear. elevators were managed best i’ve ever seen!
