Are you heading to a convention in the next couple of months? These can be very exciting and a dream come true where you have the chance to meet celebrities or find out more about your favourite shows, films, and creators. That said, there is still going to be plenty of downtime. Here are some of the best ways to beat the boredom.Â
Use Your Tech
First, you could use your tech to quel your boredom. We’re sure that you have quite a lot of tech available at your fingertips including your ipad or your phone. There are an infinite number of ways that you can solve boredom with technology and some of them are incredibly productive. For instance, you might want to solve a crossword puzzle on your phone. This is a great way to keep your brain active while you are getting a little too bored sitting in a queue waiting for the next presentation. You just need to research websites or apps that are going to interest you.Â
Be An Influencer
Downtime at a convention could also be a great time to start your journey as a new influencer. Influencers record everything at conventions and provide their own spins. Remember, if you are somewhere like Comicon, then you will be able to provide insider info and this can be incredibly valuable. It could be a fantastic way to build up followers for your social media account. This is a great opportunity if you are interested in becoming an influencer in the future or if you are thinking about setting up your own video blog series on YouTube.Â
Make FriendsÂ
Next, you could think about making friends with people while you are at a convention. While you are awaiting the next conference, presentation, or screening, you might want to start talking to people. Another fantastic benefit of conventions is that you know, without a doubt, you’re surrounded by people who share your own wonderful interests. As such, it should be easy to find a common thread and a segway into a riveting conversation. You might even want to check around social media to find people who you can meet when you are there if you are flying solo.Â
ExploreÂ
Finally, if you have downtime during a convention, then this is a great time to explore. Assuming you’re not stuck in a queue, then it could be worth thinking about taking a look at some of the exhibitions that you weren’t planning to visit when you purchased your ticket. Even if you are in a queue, you could do some research online to plan where you’re going to go next. The great thing about conventions is that there’s so much to see and do, even if it’s something that you thought you weren’t going to be interested in.Â
We hope this helps you understand some of the best ways to keep yourself entertained when you have too much downtime at your latest convention. In doing so, you can guarantee that you do make the most these periods.Â
