We would be interested in a few more activities for attendees to participate in, in addition to the open arcade and tournaments. Now it’s not lost on us that this is a fighting game tournament, but the equally entertaining, non-gaming events that took place like Karaoke were a treat to participate in. We think maybe a dance party panel or an ARG (alternate reality game) would’ve been a nice touch for folks who were looking to mingle a bit or ‘to touch grass’.
As for the layout of CEOtaku, it was fairly easy to navigate, with clear signage and well-organized areas. The team is very familiar with the Wyndham Hotel, however for newcomers, we still think it would be rather difficult to get lost or confused about where to go next as the maps were clear to read and everything was signed appropriately. It's a well-thought-out layout that makes your overall experience easy to enjoy, ensuring that you can focus on what matters most: the games and the people. One of the things that truly sets CEOtaku apart is their commitment to safety. The convention goes the extra mile by staffing its own security, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone. It felt like CEOtaku really understands the importance of the little things that make an event memorable.
CEOtaku puts on absolutely unforgettable and entertaining matches commented on by equally entertaining commentators. We were practically on the edge of our seats watching the battles unfold. The enthusiastic commentators really make you feel like you're part of the matches; we felt like we were in a stadium with all the energy that was in the room!
What about Cost and Accommodations?
As far as hotel accommodations, CEOtaku takes place in the Wyndham Orlando Resort where rooms start at $139 a night. However, this booking information can change depending on when you decide to solidify lodging for your stay at the event. There aren’t a ton of other hotels in the immediate area to stay alternatively, but honestly, that may be for the best Wyndham is going to provide the overall closest and most comfortable stay in the area.
If you’re looking for food, you’ll be happy to know there is a smorgasbord of dining options within comfortable walking distance of the host hotel at various and affordable price points. This also includes places to have a yummy cocktail for all of my 21 and up convention attendees. Parking is convenient if not a bit crowded as it shares a plaza with few other tourist shopping areas, but for those staying at the host hotel, you’ll have some guaranteed parking to look forward to, however, I'd note that parking does cost if you stay at the host hotel.
Overall, accommodation for CEOtaku is very reasonable comparable to other conventions within the Orlando, Florida area specifically.
Should You go to CEOtaku?
