Which is, more or less, what I was asking.

As a GM I'd like to have the opportunity to meet existing
players and recruit new ones, but I'd like to see more going
on... even though I probably wouldn't have too much time to
take part in them.

That said, I'd be tempted to have a stall in order to show a
presence and run some sort of event not necessarily directly
linked to my games.  Could be business suicide, but should
be fun...  ;-)

Suggests to me that the con itself is, for you (and no doubt
plenty of others) just a focal point to meet people.  In
which case, the provision of trade stands is simply a way to
subsidise the venue expenses.

Are there people reading this who aren't attracted by this
convention format -- or even put off by it?  If so, why?
Is there a way we can make a con more attractive to you?
