Which isn’t to say the convention can’t be done… zero money is where most conventions start out. Now to raise funds, and go from there. And you have a team of people already who have an idea what they’re doing, as well as whatever supplies belong to the con, so you’ve a leg up. Not to say it’s going to be easy, just possible.
One problem is that cons tend to grow throughout the years. Starting out from zero again would mean having to set up a smaller or lower-quality event than what the visitors became accustomed to.
Glad to see that got out of this year without debt.
Very few cons that aren’t first-year start out at zero. I don’t know the scale of BorkCon or what their expenses look like but it might be rough to get any venue with no money.
UnCONventional is a comic that ran from December 2009 to December 2019 about the staff of a small town anime convention and their lives. This is a complete online archive of the comic.
