We ended up doing big tasks on each day, but I think we sort of underestimated just how difficult all the smaller tasks would be. Now that our final full day is over and all we have left for preparation is the morning of the first day of the convention, I’m realizing that the tedious tasks actually take a whole lot longer than the tasks that everyone would assume would be harder.

All our merchandise shipments are in and we mostly have everything set up, but the final polish is taking some time. I actually ended up leaving sort of on time, but our merchandising director stayed back later to get even more work done on our booth.

Today was also the day that most people came into Long Beach, and convention badge pick-up started today, so the outside of the convention center was pretty busy, putting additional pressure on us due to the fact that the start of the convention now feels much more salient.

This is our first time running an exhibitor booth at a convention, and my background when it comes to events is hosting them as a broadcast personality instead of actually taking care of all the logistics of how the event should work, so I’m sort of new to this and this has been a pretty good learning experience for all of us. I’m also a speaker at the panel, so this isn’t the only thing that I’ll be doing, so I still have some ways to go before I can call this TwitchCon a success.
