[ACML] Industry panels & going to multiple shows (was RE: E3 & Gaming)

[Derek Guder]

Industry panels can vary wildly.

Sometimes they're super-cool with big news and new products to show off but sometimes they're just the same, stale questions repeated again and again. Most fall in the middle with one or two bits of useful news and lots of treading the same ground.

Of course, those of us running the cons who go to so many different shows a year aren't really the target audience for many of those events. :)

That does make me wonder, though - does anyone have a figure for how many people go to multiple anime conventions a year?
