When choosing to go to a convention or what, how important are the following factors when in the decision making process on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being a must have and 1 being unimportant at all.

>Location
>Badge price
>Nearby hotels and restaurants
>Venue
>Industry Guests
>Fandom Guests (aka high profile artists, youtube personalities, bloggers, cosplayers etc.)
>Friends going with you
>Friends you'll see at the con
>Panels and events
>Music performances
>Competitions (Masquerade, game tournaments etc.)
>Social Scene and Parties

Industry guest are all that matter to me, Japanese guest, not American ones.

I also avoid local cons. It's all teenage weeabs.

has to be close to home- I don't go to out of state cons for a reason that'll become apparent in this post
>badge price
9/10
really the deal breaker- is it worth the $$$ or not
>hotels and restaurants
7/10
I've never stayed at a hotel but I assume a nice hotel is needed for people who are traveling
>venue
5/10
only way this could go wrong is if the place is a mess/ too small for the convention size
>industry guests
10/10
main reason I (and I assume many others) go to cons- to meet some A list people in the industry
>fandom guests
8/10
sorta the same as above
>friends going with
10/10
shit i would never go to a con by myself. Problem is my peeps don't really like leaving for out of state cons
>friends at con
5/10
can't speak from experience since I never meet nearby friends online
>panels and events
10/10 same as industry guests
>music performances
7/10

>competitions
4/10

>social scene and parties
4/10

It's surprising that I'm as social as I am at cons because I only give a fuck about the guests.

I go to cons to see pretty places and people. Could care less about guests or competitions.
