I have a whole document on this that I plan to port into Wiki format one of these days. Porting in progress....
Running a Small Con
- Sharon Kahn - November 1998
This document is based on the 1998 Minnstf Fall Convention (Flashback). Some items are quite specific to the time and place (e.g., price points, references to Minicon), but these tips would probably be helpful to anyone running this type of convention. Specific references to Flashback are italicized.
Flashback was conceived of as a relaxacon in the long tradition of Mnstf fall conventions. It took place over Halloween weekend, 1998, at the Northwest Inn in Brooklyn Park, and was generally considered a success. We had a little over 100 attendees, broke even, and had fun. Our budget was $1800.
