I went to this! The panels were very diverse in style and content. Some were on anthropological studies being done at universities, to Q&A with local artists in the community. Overall very interesting and I hope to attend next year.
Looks more like a convention than a conference..
It's a spectrum and the best conferences definitely have convention elements. DefCon has a fursuit lounge.
It really wasn’t like a convention. It was one day, and the panels were more focused on meta analysis of the community rather than the typical sort of thing you’d see at a con.
