Tips and advices for conventions to invite guests ;D
Hello convention organizers,
some of you are already very successful in inviting guests for your conventions, some of you are new in the business and want to try to have international guests for their convention to make their local scene more outgoing and growing.
I want to give those conventions a few tips about how to organize and handle convention guests so your con can be as successful as you want it to be.
Why to invite guests?
If cosplayers, seiyuus, singer, dance groups, youtube stars or all kind of other artists, they can all help to make your con more successful. Even if not everybody on your con is the greatest fan, to talk to international people about the scene and to exchange experiences and to gain new friendships can be important for the happiness in your community. F.e. can a cosplayer from another country help a country to see the hobby of cosplay in another light and it can help people to develop and to solve problems in the scene. Also via the name of the artist, your convention can be visible for more people and more people that are interested in working with you can help you to get more sponsors for your convention. So in general, guest can help to let your convention and anime/manga/game/sci-fi/fantasy/etc-scene in your country to grow.
