Love what Steven Pope is doing for our country's aspiring managers. Proof that we can compete globally. Diskarte lang talaga. https://t.co/heGe0VCM6v

1/16 🧵 As a father, I feel compelled to share my daughter's experiences at CONQuest 2023. While the convention held promise, unfortunately, it fell short of expectations in many ways. This thread outlines the issues she faced as a premium pass holder. #CONQuest2023

[Ryan Roland Dabao @ryandabao]

2/16 The first issue was with reserved seating for premium pass holders. Despite paying for a premium pass, my daughter found no reserved seats at events like the Valorant showdown. The 'first come first serve' policy made us question the value of the premium pass. #CONQuest2023

These observations are based on our personal experiences at #CONQuest2023. If there are valid explanations for these issues, we are open to understanding them. We believe in constructive dialogue and learning, and hope that these reflections will be taken in that spirit.

16/16 In summary, the convention was a disappointing experience, marred by disorganization, long queues, and poor communication. Despite getting refunds, the dissatisfaction, irritation, and disappointment have left a lasting impact. #CONQuest2023

15/16 The Roomie panel, designated for 2pm, started around 3:30 without any prior notice or entertainment during the waiting period. Such delays and lack of communication added to the overall dissatisfaction. #CONQuest2023

14/16 The staff seemed to hurry the attendees during meet and greets. This rushed experience diluted the value of the M&G, as attendees couldn't have meaningful interactions with the creators. #CONQuest2023

[Ryan Roland Dabao @ryandabao]

13/16 The segments of Bao and Shoto were mixed up, with Bao's segment skipped altogether. This indicated a lack of coordination and attention to the event schedule. #CONQuest2023

12/16 The last day of the convention was marked by disarray, with lines spilling onto the road. Every day presented a new issue, underlining a lack of foresight and organization. #CONQuest2023

[Ryan Roland Dabao @ryandabao]

11/16 Following the outcry of discontent, the co-founder of CONQuest deactivated his social media accounts, only to reactivate them later. This evoked further dissatisfaction among the attendees who sought accountability. #CONQuest2023

[Ryan Roland Dabao @ryandabao]

10/16 The venue for M&G free tickets was moved to MOA atrium, a location further from the main event area. Despite the claim of needing more space, this change only resulted in longer lines and added inconvenience. #CONQuest2023

[Ryan Roland Dabao @ryandabao]

9/16 A major confusion arose when M&G tickets for Valk, Leslie, and Syk were sold out by 7 am, though the sale was announced to start at 10 am. Such miscommunication led to disappointment among eager fans who were looking forward to these meet and greets. #CONQuest2023

[Ryan Roland Dabao @ryandabao]

8/16 The organization around the M&G tickets was a nightmare. Attendees waited for hours only to be told tickets were no longer available. This lack of efficient organization led to frustration and confusion among the attendees. #CONQuest2023

[Ryan Roland Dabao @ryandabao]

7/16 Absent this year was the Q&A session during the M&G with Pokimane and Michael, a stark difference from the previous year. It was a missed opportunity to connect attendees with the creators on a deeper level. #CONQuest2023

[Ryan Roland Dabao @ryandabao]

6/16

Attendees were given just 15 seconds to interact with their favorite creators. This was a disappointment considering the hefty 20k pesos price of the premium pass. It was impossible to get a signature or a proper picture in such a short span. #CONQuest2023

[Ryan Roland Dabao @ryandabao]

5/16 The lines of premium pass holders at the meet and greets were unexpectedly longer than those of normal pass holders. This was a surprising mismanagement considering the premium paid. #CONQuest2023

[Ryan Roland Dabao @ryandabao]

4/16
At the Pokimane + Michael meet and greet, the attendees were not allowed to sit down while waiting for their turn. This felt unfair especially for those who had to wait until all premium pass holders had their time with the creators. #CONQuest2023

[Ryan Roland Dabao @ryandabao]

3/16 Re-selling of tickets led to overcrowding. On the second day, attendees, including my daughter, had to wait in line for hours just to get to the second floor. This was a clear oversight in planning. #CONQuest2023
