I shoot in manual and keep my ISO on 400, then change the shutter speed to what is best for the environment I'm in. It's good to take some test shots at a random crowd before going for serious photos so you can adjust your settings to what you want. Bear in mind though I'm just a beginner at this stuff, so take it as a grain of salt.

I keep a memory of settings for the areas I'm in. In relation to Expo, here's what I use:
• Outdoors = Shutter priority (or a very high shutter speed like 1/300s to 1/500s)
• Indoors (Glass roof area) = 1/30s
• Indoors (Dark hallways and inside the event) = 1/15s (Can get away with doing 1/60s if you step the ISO up to something stupidly high)
• Night = Use an external flash or you're fucked

Also even if you don't get your shots perfectly lighted on your camera, just throw them into Lightroom and play around with the RAW files, it can save those times you fuck up and forget to adjust your lighting settings.

Their costumes are pretty much perfect as well, they did a fantastic job.
