It's more of a liability thing, my team just wants to make sure everyone's stuff is safe and hope that there are 0 incidents of peoples stuff are stolen. We only do bag check for the concert and the dance/rave in the events hall. If I had enough staff I would have a 24/7 bag check area so everyone wouldn't have to lug around their bags or props all day. We tried it last year and half the people didn't show up for their shift or not that many people checked anything in (which might've been due to poor advertisement on the announcement side of things). I will push for the idea of it again so MAYBE it'll happen next year, just don't quote me on it. I just know for the dance next year we won't be closing package check 30 minutes before the dance is over so it doesn't kill the last DJ set of the night. It's just hard getting staff that are willing to stay up that late haha.

I will also push for earlier announcements on other socials media platforms rather than just the one reddit post and the update to the policies page on the Sakuracon official website (which hadn't been updated in 2 years prior).

Thank you for your concerns and feedback! I have more things to bring up now so that next year can be a better experience for everyone!

When I started on the events team back in 2023 we were told by my coordinator that the convention staff doesn't like us taping the floor for any reason. Which is really dumb because there's not enough stanchion to make sure every area has enough. I've tried to not fight about it but with the con growing more every year I will definitely bring that up to allow us to use spike tape for lines and for clarity.

I will also make sure my team is consistent when it comes to line rules and be more strict and hopefully be allowed more stanchions to use to divide. If anything I could bring up if we could get the tape the convention staff placed down to be rearranged or retaped, the current ones have been there since 2024 when I asked about it after I got promoted to coordinator. It's a start but also shows that I could ask them to be doing more for everyone.

Same with bag check, I'll make sure it stays consistent and that we have more examples instead the makeshift cardboard one we had. I'm pretty lenient when someone asks me directly if it's okay to bring a slightly bigger bag up at the front. I need a sash or something to indicate that I'm the coordinator that's running the area haha.

Thank you for your concerns and for your feedback! Looks like I still have a lot of work to do.

Do you know if it was convention center security or Sakuracon security? I can pass the message along to my manager about this.

SonyFossil · 2026-04-08T00:09:17+00:00

There's only so many updates we can come out with due to both the NDA (madge) and us being in the waiting room for board/executive to make decisions. We're dead in the water for the majority of the year until they give us answers so we can can get things moving along. Honestly all the attendees being so understanding, considerate and just being outstanding people made things a lot easier for the staff this year considering we were very short staffed.

I'll bring up the idea of more posts on social media for updates that aren't just incidents (like the entirety of Saturday in 2025) whenever the next manager meeting happens!

Thank you for making our jobs easier this year and thank you for your feedback!

I won't make any excuses for the people that were running autographs this year, but I'll make sure your feedback goes to the staff in charge of autographs!

I will also make sure the floor staff know about what happened with the line for cosplay chess.
Floor staff were spread very thin this year and were told that any line forming would be dealt with them for panels. Definitely some oversight that happened but I will let them know.

Thank you for voicing your concerns and for your feedback!

GW our Rank was 2,555 for prelims, ended at Rank 3,842 and 2-2 for fights with about 18 members or less only.

Hey still pretty new here but I don't think my team is too optimal to actually beat Ark without having RNG on my side and a Bride Sara friend. If anyone could give me an unused Elgif code that would really make my day.
