So there's two of these in my area coming up (Resin Rose and PNW Expo). Do you guys enjoy cons or shows, and what kind of things do you like to see at them?

also I've taken Suiseiseki with me to a con, while cosplaying Jun, was fun.
Sadly I missed dollAkon which is pretty big doll gathering within another con, as I did not yet have Suiseiseki last akon, maybe if theres some doll groupings up north, but one guy I ran into who recognized my doll was REALLY creepy at the last con ;u;

I haven't taken my dolls to normal cons, just to doll shows. Usually take whatever doll I'm trying to shop for, unless there's some people I'm meeting with who particularly like one of my dolls (my one friend LOVES my DD and always asks me to bring her). One thing that always drives me nuts though is the people who bring wagons or strollers full of dolls. The wagons especially because they're always hanging off it and dragging it behind without watching where it is. It gets in the way, it catches on stuff, and it always makes me nervous as fuck to see all those dolls that they're not even keeping an eye on just left open. No need to bring your whole collection with you all the time.
What kind of classes do you guys like to see at doll cons? I really want to get into a photography one. Also I came from the dollhouse hobby before this and one thing the dollhouse shows like to do is "roundtable projects", which would be a neat concept for dolls. Its basically a simple and inexpensive craft kit set up at a table with one person supervising, and anyone can stop by through the day, purchase one, and put it together. Usually they're like half-hour projects and cost under $20. Something like papercraft props, small accessories or hats would be cool.

I've been to a japanese doll convention. I got to meet the maker of Kiki (kinoko juice) and man, it was great fun. Got some fantastic doll stuff. I went to the volks closing store event but I don't think that counts. I think that was a little bit of a letdown.
Photography ones and faceup stuff probably. I think those are some of the hardest stuff to pull off in this hobby.
