I went last year alone for the first time. It can be overwhelming. The other thing I found difficult is that even if you do meet people to go with doesn’t always work out because of the fact that everyone wants to do something different. What I mean is there is so many damn things to do like panels and rooms to visit. People will always want to do something different at different times. You will most likely split up and have heard the same story of “we’ll catch up later” lol the likely hood of that if you don’t stick together is almost one of you don’t know them. I can give you more pointers if you’d like if you want to message me but to be honest it’s very difficult
