World of Warcraft : BlizzCon Survival Guide Jul 26, 2007
BlizzCon Survival Guide Much like its famous neighbor (the Happiest Place on Earth) across the street, arriving at BlizzCon may leave you wondering where to go and what to do first. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your two days in a way that would give a seasoned Disneyland expert a run for her money. Get Your Badge Early There will be lines at the badge pick-up stations when the show first opens. Beat the rush by coming by on Thursday between 4 and 11 p.m. or on Friday starting at 7 a.m. Make a (rough) schedule One of the easiest and biggest pitfalls that even experienced conference-goers can make is poor time management. On one end of the spectrum is cramming everything humanly possible into a rigidly regimented schedule, and on the other end is doing one activity for too long and missing out on something else. A happy medium, where you have a defined but flexible schedule, is best. Having a list of priorities for each day can work well. Keep in mind that there are differences between Friday's and Saturday's offerings, such as the different slate of developer panels for each day. Get to the live events early The live events, such as the developer panels and the tournaments, were heavily attended at the first BlizzCon - since there will likely be even more people and interest this time, come early. For these live events, you can't beat the view of the action that a well-placed seat can provide.
