/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

What are you most looking for when visiting conventions? What activities are your favourite, which are most fun? How do you organise? And where do you find people to meet? I'm new to conventions and I do not know how to find company or have fun at conventions. I have not met anyone during conventions, as I'm a highly introverted person and socializing is not my strong point. I'm asking all of this because there is a convention which I will be attending in a few weeks and even if I do not manage to socialize I still wish to squeeze out as much as possible from this experience.
