KadabraCon is a multi-genre convention in Texas that had its third year this year. It had a stacked guest lineup despite some last minute cancellations. 
Set up for the event was an absolute NIGHTMARE. There was no map made for vendors to know where their spots were. Only a monitor to reference since there wasn’t even anything taped town to indicate spots. Vendors were yelled at by the vendor coordinator just for asking where their spots were. Some vendors who paid extra for premium spots were not given what they paid for. Tables and chairs weren’t event available for vendors until hours after set up time began. 
Vendors weren’t even fully set up after VIP pass holder were let in 30 minutes after the stated VIP entry time. Despite a no AI art rule for vendors there were still vendors selling AI art. There was even a booths that had gambling elements and pushing crypto onto both attendees AND vendors. 
The event was so dead most vendors didn’t make their table fees back. Some even left the event on Saturday. 
Schedules were not available on site. It was only viewable on the KadabraCon website. There weren’t any announcements on event updates. Many events were either delayed or cancelled. There weren’t any announcements even guests who left early or didn’t show up AT ALL. There was even a video posted by guests of the event of their empty “green room”. 
Panel rooms were also empty. No chairs or tables were provided. Attendees were sitting on the floor. Performers weren’t even given a stage. The panel rooms were also placed behind curtains that were within the 18+ section that was only open at night. So during the day when there were all ages panels they had people hold up table cloths so children wouldn’t see the adult art. 
There was no clear indication who was a staff member and who was a volunteer. The people at registration tried their best to help those who had questions but the owner/director of the event was nowhere to be seen. 
KadabraCon has had issues in the past but looked promising this year. The event was completely disorganized and had very little turn out. Many vendors and artists have come out saying how they will no longer support this convention or any event run by its owner/director. He has deleted all negative comments and refuses to answer questions regarding the issues at past events. Including transphobia, guests/performers not being paid since year one, and the mistreatment of staff and volunteers.

DO NOT ATTEND KADABRACON OR ANY EVENT RAN BY THE OWNER/DIRECTOR!

Beware of KadabraCon & the Owner/Director
