WEEBCON 2024 | So many anime merch | my second year vending
#weebcon2024 #artistalley #smallbusiness #convlog
Back to Weebcon for the second time! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
I did not get the chance to add my total expenses to the video but here's a quick breakdown:
-Standard in-line exhibitor table cost: $700
-Flight: $500
-Hotel: $1,000 (3 nights)
-Uber to and from O'Hare airport: $112
This does not even include inventory costs and miscellaneous expenses.
Vending can be really expensive. Make sure to do your thorough research about cons before applying/committing to it.
Honestly, I have more things to say about this con but ran out of time and space to include all of it. Maybe that will be a discussion for another day. I know there are a lot of attendees that did not have a great experience with this con and I feel for them. The AA/exhibitor application was also not executed well by WeebCon. Going to add my concerns to their feedback form in hopes that they will improve things next year.

It makes a lot of difference! I’m very lucky to have family around and it gives me more reason to go back to this show. Thanks for watching!
Your feelings about not making enough art are very similar to my own! I do it when I can, but I just applied to my first con and also have been focusing on new merch. I have new designs and such, but they’re more or less in the works. I also work full time, and I need to rest, see friends and family and just enjoy life. It can be tough to balance everything!

lol i sanitize in between of course. Especially dealing with cash. Did you know exhaustion from months of con preparation can make your immune system lower? The more you know. 😁
