Attendance at these panels ranged from people who were new to photography and wanted to know how to get started to those who've been doing it for awhile. We were able to have enough people to do a camera circle and before you only saw that be possible at like AC or MFF not a small 2k person con.

I also run a small photography club for Furry Photographers local to MN and WI and pre-pandemic we had I think a dozen members in the club at most. Now we've grown to almost 40 in 3 years. Considering this is a non-public and invite only group for a small regional area this is pretty impressive.
