Favorite Anime Con Events

[黒と赤「KUROtoAKA」]

I wasn't sure which forum to put this thread in, but anyway, what are everyone's favorite events to attend at anime conventions?

I went to Anime Expo for the first time this past summer, and I was amazed at the variety of events and panels they had. It was much different from Anime Vegas, which was, and still is, the only other con I've been to.

Though I missed a lot of the events while I was busy wandering around and slaughtering my wallet, my favorite events were the AX Idol competition and the AMV Contest. This summer, though, I wanna be sure to also check out the Masquerade, since that's my favorite event and AV.
