>No-one here works in the anime-industry, so everyone is just getting their information from the internet/other published sources, which are available to anyone whoso wishes.
However some of this information is so all over the place and sometimes there are language barriers as well so the point of doing representation is to gather it in one nice package and present it to the people who come to listen. There are also subjects that might not interest someone at all but once they go to listen to the lecture they get interested in it. Of course this can't happen if people are like "this subject doesn't interest me at all so I won't even waste my time".

It's good to keep in my mind that in the end conventions are just amateur events (except SCT events that are supposed to be "professional"). The point of them is to share your passion towards something.

How do I stop feeling so hopeless? Or better yet, how do I escape from retail hell?
