since a month I am trying to make a real update on the legal side of issue but the user Heather and Bong warrior keep hiding and tilting the angle on the article!
"The convention itself also began to experience unexpected financial difficulties: the staff of the Renaissance abruptly informed a DashCon staff member that they would need to pay $20,000 upfront for the use of the facilities, or shut the convention down. DashCon organizers had previously and contractually negotiated to pay the venue gradually throughout the convention, using ticket sales, rather than issuing an upfront payment."
This makes it sound as if the Hotel Management almost extorted them, the two sources for this section, are news articles which cast doubt on the validity of this sequence of events. In the official statement from DashCon they admit that the issue was related to an error in their understanding of the contract. This section should be update to reflect that.

Dashcon has since been rebranded as Emoti-con and will take place at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis in 2015. 208.189.200.2 ( talk) 17:33, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
Although this is somewhat interesting, I'm not seeing how this is something encyclopedic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pellea72 ( talk • contribs) 05:49, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
This CNN [1] article attributes the inception of DashCon to Lochlan O’Neil and Tumblr-con blog. I tried looking up Tumblr-con on Internet Archive but there's only a recent reference to a UK con. I'm putting this in here in case anyone thinks this is worthy of adding to the Concept section. Christopherlumb ( talk) 21:23, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
