Packing in the attendees, every panel, event, or activity offered something to learn from, whether you were into the discussion subject or not, as shown below with a brief description of each session.  This weekend's explorations delved straight into the heart of current fandom interests, reminiscing about all of the awesome anime con circuit, as well as new and exciting venues to focus on for the next year.
