First-ever BravoCon was a rousing success

Variety

Bravo's inaugural fan convention was highlighted by a Vanderpump Rules Experience, a Real Housewives museum and numerous panels featuring Bravolebrities. "All told, Bravo pulled it off," says Briana Rodriguez. "Getting in and out venues was largely seamless thanks to the scan-in bracelets provided with your admission, and the BravoCon app was helpful and intuitive. The locations were great, although having to schlep from one to the other was the biggest complaint from many attendees. The lineup was thrilling and some fans even got the opportunity to tell these reality stars how they really feel. Many thought the VIP purchase was worth it if only to skip the lines at the photo opps." Rodriguez adds: "Ultimately, is BravoCon an overwhelming display of obsession? Yes. Is it also, frankly, a surprisingly heart-warming celebration of bonding over other people’s drama? Also yes. You will feel 100% seen as the Andy’s Angel you are — if you’re willing to pay for it."
