They have had it open until late Saturday night night/early Sunday before. Of course, it was a weird set up to have the goody room/swap room/ and Club RT all in one big room. That isn't the normal arrangement, and it didn't really work well. <br /><br />I'm hoping we see less of a crowd next time, or it will likely be my last RT. I understand that it's not RWA. It's not a professional conference, and doesn't have the same goals. But the staff seems to have not kept up with the size of the Con and that's a problem.

It was my first RT, so I didn't have anything to compare it too - so it's nice to read a veteran's take on things. <br /><br />I would say my experience was mixed. By far the highlight for me was meeting people I only know from online.<br /><br />Also, I can't believe they closed down the "swap" tables on Saturday. You have this huge influx of one-day attendees and no opportunity for people to share/swap books/swag they don't want. That seemed like a big missed opportunity to me. Also, it would have given authors one more chance to unload swag and not haul it back home with them....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.com
