✨KawaiiCon 2023 anonymous attendee feedback form✨
link in bio🌸

We want to note that certain issues like spacing, costume rule enforcement, the line, and stage+PA issues were actually planned for but the venue did not follow our instructions prior to the event. (we had specifically requested extra space in front of the stage but tables were instead placed along the stage etc). We also only had less than half of our initial volunteers showed up, which took away from what we had planned for line organization, costume jury, and crowd control. Rest assured these issues shouldn’t have happened in the first place and they certainly won’t going forward. We also plan to book both halls at the venue for round 2 so we can have more activities and features for attendees, as well as have presentations and the costume contest away from vendor tables.
