Following the stuff on how vendors were treated, and what I observed around the con, by the end of the weekend I felt my sponsor ticket was just a waste of money. Bronycon seems to like to talk a lot of promises, which they then can’t carry through. I’ve seen the back end of cons for over a decade, and I can sympathise with some of their points, but I feel much of it is simply trying to pass the blame

I’m really upset I missed vendor applications for Ciderfest

I love how Ciderfest treated vendors and guests in general

If it wasn’t for the people I met at the convention, I would have probably regretted going.

I won’t go into my problems too deep though, they are just a personal experience. But I will say, the money spent on a gold sponsor badge was not worth it in the slightest with how I was treated, and what was promised vs delivered, and if I attend again, I won’t be buying sponsor level again.

Too much of how things were run were just far too unprofessional, this became evident whenever a problem arose.
