Great event but staff can be unpolite and unable to get any drinks after 5pm when panel is 6-7pm.
I loved both Liverpool events I recently attended however there were a few things I did not like. I found most of the staff very patronising and rude, at my first event I was a little overwhelmed not knowing how the photo ops worked etc. and was shouted at several times and told to hurry up etc. I know there is a tight schedule but a few seconds for me to collect my bag in my own time is expected with the price I paid for the photo op itself. It seems the guests are overbooked to allow for profit and people aren't receiving a positive experience. I have anxiety too and this stressed me out a lot during all the photos. Also, at the last event I attended (my second time) , we decided to book for a panel which started at 6-7pm ish. We did not realise everything else shut at 5pm meaning we could not buy a drink from anywhere. All food/drinks vans had packed up, all the venue cafe's had closed etc. I found myself unable to take important medication as I assumed a busy event would give me an option of drink as it had done all day. We went to leave the venue as we were staying across the road at a hotel but was told if we left and returned, we would be refused re-entry as after 5pm. In the end, I became unwell and a lovely door man actually gave me his own personal unopened bottle of drink. If the panels are later than the event time, an option to leave and return or to buy a drink is a must. The whole event is a very busy time and sometimes it's not until you settle down to wait for a panel you realise you're dehydrated as you've been so busy throughout the day.
