As my first FanFest attendance I found meeting the people was the best part of the event for me! The talks, sights and events were all great but bumping into someone and following up with a 20 minute conversation getting to know each other, from complete strangers to peers immediately, it was amazing! And to top it off they all welcomed my partner along as well, talking non-EVE things to keep her accommodated and helping her to enjoy the experience all the more as well <3
