So this will be my first ever San Diego Comic Con... and really first ever big con at all! I'm attending as an exhibitor with a company (JazzInc Dioramas) that will have a display booth showcasing our upcoming products and so I have an exhibitor pass for the entire con. I've already got my flights and hotel situated (I got one in the shuttle line,btw) but other than that I have absolutely no idea what to expect.
First question is about my badge. The company was able to secure exhibitor badges for several of us to attend but I didn't know if I still need to sign up and make some sort of profile. I read something on the website about having some sort of an account in order to have a badge at all but I could be understanding things incorrectly.
I'll be working our booth here and there but I'll mostly be free to experience the con. What sort of things can I expect to do? Do you usually just wander around aimlessly, looking at all the cool stuff? Are there panels or other cool things to attend?
Does my exhibitor pass give me access to the same things as regular passes? I don't care too much about purchasing exclusives and all that... I just want to otherwise have a fun time and experience something I've never been able to before in the fullest way possible.
I hope no one minds the questions but I literally know nothing about how this goes! I just know I'm excited for it all 😄
