(1,615 posts)If they made the Convention some kind of event for youth. Hopefully they're planning on doing that. I would produce adjacent untelevised events/parties hosted by influencers and entertainers. Blast them out over the social media. The kids just love the social media.
Me, I love Steven Spielberg.
