I went to a convention organised by this organiser last weekend and overall I had a very good time! The organisation of the event was extremely well managed, as was the selection of guests and the opportunities to engage with them. The parties were fun after hours events, although I do think they would have benefited from having themes like at other Starfury events. The value for money was quite good although I did feel that the lack of merchandise did take away a little from the experience. I understand that trade isn't the focus of Starfury Conventions but perhaps giving attendees the opportunity to browse collectibles or even to allow artists to trade at the cons might be a nice addition. It would also be nice to perhaps have some workshops (maybe ones run by volunteer attendees) that tie into the show for people to attend during their downtime.One of the things I would say that as efficient and dedicated as the staff were at this con, I think some were a bit militaristic in their enforcement of the rules. I understand why phones are not allowed near the tables however, I did feel that shouting at people and demanding that they delete things (even when they might have just been looking at something on their phones) was a bit intense. Even then I think there is a way to approach someone who is breaking a rule that is firm but respectful. This is something I feel some of the staff need to work on.
