====Hotel-based Events====
At the very least, you should make sure there's a good gathering place for attendees to sit around, drink and socialize at any time of the day. 

You'll also want to make sure there's an appropriate sized room for vendors to set up in to sell their merchandise. Your best advice for how to handle the vendors' room is going to come from any of the vendors that have done at least a few different C* events. 

Post-C21, there is a lot of discussion about offering workshops or panels in hopes of drawing a larger crowd. Keep in mind that a lot of people will explore the host city instead of attending daytime events so keep that in mind when you consider how much money you're willing to add to your budget for these items. That said, the more options you can give people, the better off you'll be!
