So as we start planning for EVE Vegas 2014 after last year's successful ramp-up, we'd love to hear what direction we should take with the next one which will most likely take place sometime in Oct/Nov.
We have our own ideas and we've learned a lot from past EVE Vegases (that's a word right?), but we'd like to hear what you think, whether you're an EVE Vegas veteran, a one hit wonder planning a comeback, or someone who's merely interested and have yet to take the leap.
Do you want more presentations? Less presentations? Different topics? Did you like the activities? Any other activities we should definitely add? What's the best venue? Did you like the PVP room? Were the catering options ok or do you want us to do something differently there? etc etc.
Let's talk Vegas, baby!! CCP Guard | EVE Community Developer |-á@ccp_guard |

I LOVED the pvp room. That was awesome. Maybe a few less presentations. I like the smaller the groups where its easier to talk and have more discussions. Also would like to do more get to know each other things. Party bus was a blast!!!! |

Planning on returning As long as funds allow, that is.
The round tables were good. Always good to be able to just chat with the developers.
The presentations were good as well.
I was quite happy with the Rio as a location. More than big enough, and easy to get to the strip for other activities. Steve Ronuken for CSM 9! http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ Twitter: @fuzzysteve on Twitter |

I attended this year and enjoyed it.
I thought Javajunky's presentation on how alliance logistics worked was great. More stuff that people can learn from would be my recommendation.
More presentations about 3rd party tools would be great. Maybe 5-10 minute per tool and then a round of discussion. There is a huge reliance on out of game tools by Eve players that it should be an area of discussion.
Perhaps round tables for players about topics they are interested in, logistics, small gang PvP, industry, wormholes, etc. That would create a chance for players with similar playstyles to meet, chat, and lead to in game collaboration. CCP devs could attend these to hear what these specialty groups are talking about.
Pain point: The actual schedule of events was only given out at the last minute and a bit confusing.
Would be nice: Better name tags. Printed with info like in-game name, corp, alliance, etc. for easy badge surfing.

I attended this year and had a blast, due to time of year, I can't attend fanfest, so this is next best thing
Keynote was nice and the fact that some tidbits about Rubicon were held back for EvE Vegas was nice
I personally liked the hotel, the walk to the conference was not bad and 10,000 poker players make that same walk, don't understand the "Walk was so long" I guess people have never been to some of the crappy hotels and small convention halls
The Poker tourny in lieu of binge drinking was awesome, but the logging in to send isk was a PITA to be mild, maybe CCP just giving out a prize(S) could alleviate a lot of that.
I realize sideroom roundtables are kinda limited based on developers or others who attend, but i liked them and would like to see them expanded
Alliance panels would be awesome, but the logistics behind this may be a bit of a reach for EvE Vegas until the size gets a bit bigger
The round robin PvP room was nice, but maybe also give a chance for a bit more organized ladder system intermixed with round robin |

Holding the poker tournament at the same time as the pub crawl was displeasing. Otherwise I completely enjoyed it! |

Pre-conference mixer / registration nite mixer.... can never have enough mixers!
The RIO was a great spot, being a local, I can't stand the strip. RIO is close with great access to strip (free bus to Harrahs), but not on the damn strip.
DO NOT feed attendees, only increase costs for tickets, and how many ways can you have chicken at one meeting? There is better and cheaper good VERY close by and cabs are cheap.
Bring the DUST and Valkyrie guys on board, not just the devs, the fans too. |

We've discussed decreasing the number of presentations or adding a day so that there's time for proper food breaks and so that everyone has more time to just hang out without feeling like they're missing something. The PVP room was a huge success we feel and we'll definitely do that again and hopefully we can have more Valkyrie stations so everyone can play it a lot :) CCP Guard | EVE Community Developer |-á@ccp_guard |

I would like more time to interact with the Devs.
Also I have one gripe about the Rio: They charge for internet access. We are having a convention about an internet game, with a wall up between us and the internet? Huh? To be fair because we were part of a convention we all did get free access for one computer. But that meant I had to leave my computer in the room for my wife when I want to the convention.
I mentioned this to some of the CCP employees and got knowing, exasperated looks. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

Perhaps this is something that be negotiated into the ticket price, NOT room rate, but ticket price since not everyone needs to stay in a hotel (I'm local). Something like one access code per ticket which allows an unlimited connection through their network. It can be done, just has to be handled by the organizers during negotiations.
The important thing to remember is that these hotels make their money from the rooms, food, drinks, and gambling that convention goers do/use; they don't make much on the actual convention itself aside from banquets (HUGE income for hotels there from the over-priced food and beverages). |

I've attended pretty much every one, and each year has been a blast
I loved the Tournament room, that was fun and would love to see that return.
The reception was awesome even tho i couldn't stay very long, however When it came time to eat, that line was LONNGGGG and took a while to get thru, maybe split next year carving station and self serve.
Also, from talks in the evevegas ingame channel, alot of us would like to see it return to the rio, their convention space was nice.
As far as presentations go, there should be another room to hold smaller more engaged presentations from players or dev's i think that would be pretty awesome.
cant wait to see you all this year o/ |

I along with a couple of others came from the UK, was a blast so you have no excuse ;-)
Rio was pretty darn decent and wouldn't be unhappy if the next one was held there, please confirm the dates as early as possible it does cut down on the cost for people like me.
+1 will do again

Better Venue than the Rio!!!
Alliance mates who stayed in the newer tower had OK rooms, but the old tower was crap. 1st room had mold on the shower tiles and second was a flashback to the 70's. I have stayed in much nicer budget inns for 30 bucks a night. Rio restaurants had pretty bad food for really high prices compared to other hotels. Buffet was more like a Golden Corral or something like that.
PVP room was great when the machines worked, they seemed to have issues after the first day. Having a few spares to swap in when the PC crashes would be good. Convention space was nice and the presentations were well done.
As mentioned before, having the agenda out with a little more time to plan out a day would be nice.
I thought the access to devs like CCP Fozzie was a great thing. Keep it up with the hanging out in the pvp room and talking to folks! Swag was nice and the SomerBlink sponsorship was good with the free blink credit for trying and winning the pvp matches.
I'd go to Eve Vegas again, but I would stay somewhere other than the Rio. |

As an Australian, I'm hoping to come this year (having possible work in the US in Aug/Sept), and I agree, the sooner we know dates the better. What with VISA's and all that crap :P
Looks like great fun though! :) Excited! \o/ Hopefully it works out.

I did not mind the Rio as a venue. PVP room was great. Round tables were great (ones that I went to at least). Party at the top was OK, long line at food not a lot of places to sit. I did not even know there were Gallente girls walking around till I was about to leave, previous year they snapped a pic as you walked in. It is a shame the band was not put on at a better time. I hung around and loved what I heard but it was right before the party and as to not get stuck in a long line people were leaving early, it just did not do them justice. Poker tournament was great for those who would rather not bus around and drink, but a dev or two there would have been awesome. As far as what I would like to see, propaganda table / recruitment spot, a place to buy EVE merchandise (obligatory GÇÿfor plexGÇÖ). An interactive show or two rather than just a power point stack, Eve themed price is right, deal or no deal, GÇÿkaraoke for iskGÇÖ, PvP with interruptions, dress a dev, or vote for best dev. I would get a tattoo if it was there. |

A couple of points to address:
1. Forgot about the 'OLD' tower rooms being crap, and players told me that too when I worked there, lol.
2. As for the tattoos and such, I know there is a well known tattoo artist in the Palms across the street. I think there is also a well known artist in the Hard Rock. (either venue would be awesome, but perhaps not geared to the older attendees)
3. For the event organizer, it is easier to negotiate with event venues/hotels when the group is larger (and/or guaranteed attendance volume), the hotel sees $$$ signs with more bodies wandering through the casino, bars, and restaurants. As this event matures, the locations will improve and more perks given to the group.*

I'm one of many players that actually lives here, and I am definitely going in 2014. If the organizers want to let me in on sharing ideas and such, I'd be happy to meet with them at one of our many fine watering holes in this town. As long as it's not on a night when I'm doing my other-than-EVE social life.... That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right... |
