Reading Time: < 1 minute

Readers and authors alike were left disappointed and frustrated after a book conference in Denver turned into a chaotic nightmare. Attendees described long lines, lack of organization, and even physical and verbal abuse from staff members.

Kelli Meyer, a self-proclaimed “RTD survivor”, compared the experience to a disastrous trip to Disney World without any of the fun. Security staff failed to control the crowd, leading to injuries and confrontations. One woman even sustained a black eye after being knocked over in the chaos.

One attendee, who suffered a medical emergency, claimed she was yelled at by staff to get up off the floor. The overall sentiment from attendees was one of shock and disappointment at the lack of professionalism and organization at the event.

Even best-selling author Yarros expressed her anger and apologized to readers for the poor experience. She acknowledged the issues with registration, food shortages, and lack of security at night events. Event organizer Renee Jones admitted to the “bumpy bumps” the conference faced, including concerns about security and unprofessional behavior from volunteers.

Overall, the event left a sour taste in the mouths of both attendees and authors, with many vowing never to return. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of proper planning and organization in large-scale events to ensure a positive experience for all involved.
