#ClexaCon 2019 Recap ( @ClexaCon )from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

ClexaCon 2019 is over and we’ve all left the bright lights of Las Vegas behind to return to our normal every day lives. Typically after a major trip or event I film a recap video, but with the number of topics connected to this year’s ClexaCon I believe an article will be a better vessel for covering everything in a clear and detailed way. This is not a short article and does include some more personal elements to the weekend outside of the convention itself. Continue reading “#ClexaCon 2019 Recap ( @ClexaCon )from @kleffnotes”

I have some quick suggestions and tips for your travels away from Sin City, that is unless you live in Las Vegas in which case I’m guessing you are having a pretty quick trip.

@ClexaCon 2019 Day One Panel Picks and Passage Preview from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

This year I’ve decided that instead of listing every panel I will be attending, but instead I will be suggesting the panels for the day that interest me. There will be some overlap in times and again, I will not be live tweeting from all of these panels. Keep an eye on The Nerdy Girl Express, @thenerdygirlexp, where I will announce which panel or event I am at so that you will know what I’m livetweeting. I will also be tweeting from the vendor floor and I will be sharing a bit on my personal twitter, @kleffnotes throughout the weekend. This article is also special because it includes a brief preview teaser of one of the web series debuting tonight, Passage from Tello Films.

@ClexaCon Podcasts Feature from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

Podcasts have basically taken over the world. Okay, maybe not really, but with so many podcasts in the world I wanted to highlight some of the things you can listen to that are also ClexaCon connected. You can listen to these while you are traveling to the convention or you can start binging now so that you can get caught up and maybe even attend a live taping in Las Vegas.

The Bi Line: What I’m Looking Forward To at @ClexaCon Feature from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

This is my third year going to ClexaCon and the second time that I will be going as press. Last year was the first time my girlfriend, Krista, and I went to ClexaCon together. We met there in 2017, but since we were going as a couple last year we did a lot of intense scheduling and tried to do as much as we could. While some people can survive that I wound up burning myself out trying to do everything I thought I needed to do as press and Krista and I had tried to cram in a lot. This year, while I will still be doing coverage, we’ve decided to tone things down a bit so that we don’t wind up with post con burnout like last year.
