I recently attending a local kids expo that was great exposure to businesses that cater to children. There was also plenty of information on upcoming summer camps and other activities for kids. It was a lot of fun even if the little one can’t take part in camps. It was still a good information gathering day.

I also like to attend conventions for the same reason. While they are great to collect marketing pens and other cool stuff, cons give a one-stop spot to find useful information from companies.

Our next con we will be attending will be Dragon Con in Atlanta. I’m really excited about this one. I’m hoping to get some hands on experience with some new board, card, and RPG games. It seems that in our area the same games are popular with everyone and is what most people play. It’s always nice to learn new games, especially when the person you are learning the game really has a passion for it.

That’s the best thing about cons for me is the exposure to games and players that are not in my gaming group.
