In this guide, you’ll find advice on planning your day, items to pack, and ways to help ensure that you stay comfortable throughout your experience! It may seem at first as though a guide for attending a convention might be unnecessary, but from the two authors of this article (who have both attended their fair share of cons!), these are some crucial tips, tricks and recommendations that we have discovered that have made our events truly comfortable and helped to maximize our fun! Although conventions can sometimes be overwhelming, following these tips will help make your first Usukicon one to remember forever! 1. Preparation and Research This one may seem obvious, but saving up your Neopoints before the convention is one of the biggest tips that we can provide: there is a LOT of Usuki merch that is convention exclusive and you can’t get anywhere else! Prices can range from reasonable to rather expensive depending on what you’re looking to purchase, so keeping an eye on the yearly Usukicon schedule and planning your funds ahead is a great way to make sure you’re able to bring home all the goodies and merch that you’ve had...
