MAGFest has several child events in other locations but Super MAGFest is the flagship in National Harbour, MD, right across the way from Washington DC. The event takes place in the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, but has shuttles to the convention centre from other hotel locations. It is a 24-hour con, so events run all day.
This is the first year I’ve been to it, and also my second flying con. The badges entirely sold out this year, so it was a closed event and no more badges could be bought. We flew in and DCA is only a 20-25ish minute ride to the con so the rideshare price wasn’t too bad. I was kind of worried when I found out the con was 24 hours, because what happens when we leave the exhibition hall and attendees can freely roam about? In the end it wasn’t bad at all. You just put a tablecloth over your booth like normal, maybe put one in back and leave and people are respectful of that. I don’t think I had any of my stuff stolen, at least any of the big stuff.
