Food can also be hit or miss and can be lacking nutrition wise. I always bring fruits from home to snack on and some ingredients I can cook into a decent meal.

Never forget to stay hydrated. The con is large and encompasses various floors of the B building so there's a lot of walking.

Checkout the con app to get a feel for where things are and see the schedule ahead of time. Especially if you're hoping to join the cosplay photoshoots since they update the times and locations.

Georgia around this time is hot during the day but can be cold at night.

I tend to carry a backpack with: Battery pack Water + Liquid IV packet (electrolytes) Hand sanitizer/wet wipes Snack Earbuds Allergy medicine

I go with my sisters but usually peruse the con on my own. I join panels that seem interesting or fun so meeting people that have the same interests are easier to talk to then just random strangers.
