CONstruction || Episode #003: Nine Months Out

Welcome to another episode of the TWIFH special miniseries podcast, CONstruction: How to Throw A Fan Convention. Each month, V will catch up with John @jarrow, the logistics guy with all the spreadsheets and contracts for TGI Femslash, about, well, how to throw a successful fan convention. If you've ever thought, "It sure would be fun to spend the weekend with other people talking about my blorbo" but didn't know where to start, John has the knowledge and is willing to share it. This month, we're 9 months away from the next TGI Femslash in-person con, and we look at a recent celebrity con that got all the wrong kind of buzz on social media. The keyword of a successful event is "ecosystem," and John sings the ballad of treating vendors with respect.

If you have any questions for John about TGI Femslash or about the logistics behind planning a convention, you can send them to him via the TWIFH inbox on our Tumblr!
