This one con I go to keeps dramatically changing the dates it is hosted. Obviously its not going to happen the same weekend every time, but this cons started in April, then February, then February/March, then mid March, now, this next year, it is in January.
Why do they do this? Is this common? Is the con doing bad, so they keep changing it to see when the best month is? I think April is a much better time than the freezing January.
Kami-con in AL has been doing this. They went from I think March to fucking January or February.

That is exactly the con I am referring to actually.

LOL this is the same con I was going to bring up as well. Really annoying - does anyone know the reason they do this?
I don't know about bigger cons, but the tiny ones here change every year just because it's easier on the organizers

One reason is also the availability of the place that's hosting the convention. Some hotels and congress centres have very busy calendars.
MAGfest was randomly in the middle of february last year really close to Katsu...this year it's back to it's early January slot.
I think it's best when cons keep to their original weekend as best as possible.

Because they're moronic as fuck
