Was my first as well and overwhelmingly disappointing. Spent upwards of 3 hours there and got to try maybe 3 things I wanted due to every clueless person spending 30 minutes plus sitting at a station and not being told by the booth to move their ass while a 5 person line formed behind them waiting. Eventually gave up and left because I wasn't getting in to the spots I wanted any time soon.
If you're gonna have exhibitions you need to limit the time and tell people to get up, half the people weren't even prospective buyers they were just trying everything for stupid amounts of time. If you want to come back after everyone else gets their 10 or 15 mins cool, but let the line finish and everyone get in. What a disorganized mess, honestly, couldn't even get into the unique melody station at musicteck after 3 hours of being there (one dude literally at the station seats the entire time I was there).
