This has lack of planning written all over it 0o.
What cons have you been to before? What did you like about them? What do you think they screwed up on? Don't you think getting in touch with those kinds of people would be most benefiscial since they have experience?

Also have you ever been a major staff member at a major con. Generally these people tend to start-up new cons. It's not as easy as just asking and whatnot...requires A LOT of work and dedication..oh yeah and $$$.

if you are serious, get in touch with AWA

http://www.awa-con.com

This is a con whos more than happy to dispense with every piece of advice on every part of convention running you could have a question about.

I also support the thought that this is something you need not to tackle unless you've had staff experience at several levels.
