There were fantastic Exhibitors, and more sponsors, which meant more prizes and giveaways.<br /><br />Successes:<br />- Huge increase in attendance<br />- Our volunteer team of over 50 &quot;Wardens&quot; did a fantastic job<br />- Record number of individual events by record number of event coordinators delivered<br />- Video Gaming LAN was hugely successful and will see an increase next year<br />- RPG growth in Pathfinder as well as various other systems was significant<br />- Largest Magic: the Gathering events ever held on the island with one event hosting 134 players<br />- GottaCon now hosts the largest miniature based event in western Canada...maybe even in Canada with 138 competitive players playing at one time<br />- Board Games area saw huge growth and was consistently busy, BG library saw about a 400% increase in use.<br />- Discussion panels were very well attended and will continue to be a core feature at GottaCon<br /><br />Challenges:<br />- Lineup Friday night was unprecedented and plans are already in the works to diffuse this issue in the future.<br />- Space is becoming a major concern given growth. We are exploring options for 2014 and beyond but may have to limit ticket sales for 2013.<br />- Public play LAN station use in the LAN tournaments caused major delays in the tournaments and steps will be taken to eliminate this issue going forward<br /><br />GottaCon would like to thank all the fantastic volunteers and event coordinators who came out and made the event great.
