In our final episode in our Convention Trilogy, where we’ve already covered the fans and the dealers, we now take a step back even further to the ones that put on the show in the first place, the promoters. These are the people that rent the hotels and convention centers, get the guests, round up the vendors, do the advertising, promotions, all in the hopes in giving the fans that show up a good time with plenty to see and do. When things go wrong, they take the heat for it, but seldom get the credit when things go right, so we wanted to take a peek behind the curtain, as it were, and learn a little about what actually goes into putting on one of these conventions. To get the insight into that side of the conventions, we’ve invited Nathan Hanneman, editor in chief of HorrorHound Magazine and one of the main persons behind the Horrorhound Weekend conventions.

Hi Jon, F***ing awesome 3-part series on the scene behind the conventions! It was an educating experience to learn what goes into putting an event together. I especially enjoyed the insight from Nathan – he was very personable and shared some great stories from his experiences with the Horrorhound conventions. I have a new appreciation for the people behind these events. Looking forward to your next podcast!

Thanks Todd! That is exactly what we were hoping for with this little series, to show fans a little behind the scenes that they might not realize and maybe to give a little more thought before they start complaining! Ok…that’s the grumpy old man in me, but I’m glad you enjoyed it and hope everyone remembers those cons are to have fun at!
