Well mostly I know of Stage Zero-they've always got stuff going on. A lot of other rooms may be open at night, but here's where to go to check it all out:

It isn't huh? That's odd. Any suggestions guys?
You've tried accessing it from Fanimecon's home page right?
Other than that I don't know what to do. In your con bag you should get one-if you pre-reg'd at least. I looked through the PDF and I don't see anything else that is 24/7 though. Then again it was a quick skim. -.-'

Check your Adobe Reader.  If you don't have one installed or if it's really out of date you may not be able to access the document.

Video rooms, gaming rooms, Stage Zero (random programming?), random lobby madness, internet cafe, Jack-in-the-Box, and con-ops are the ones off the top of my head that are 24 hours

Cosplaying seems to tapper off in the wee hours. Most of the people cosplaying at that time of night are still wearing the same one they had on from earlier that evening. Though I have seen some cool late night only cosplays, including character pajama outfits.

Though awesome, ConOps is not an event.

QuoteAlso internet cafe is win!!
Yep! We have wireless internet throughout the concourse for our attendees.

To reiterate, we're a 24-hour con in the sense that there's always something going on, 24/4. The gaming/egaming/arcade room is open 24 hours, as is video, stage zero, and more; the rest are a balance of day programming (such as panels) and night programming (like dance and karaoke).

con ops (convention operations) is the organization of people that keep us safe, seeing as we're in an open convention hall in the middle of a very urban area and need protection from drunks, hobos, and other dangerous types of people who wander into the con.

and that's only part of what they do.

What the 20-some meat pieces burger?
I know at least one of the Stage 0 members wants to recreate that this year, but with a few more patties. xD Don't know if he'll get around to it though.

What you've described applies to Rovers more so than to ConOps.

/former ConOps staff :D

I hear people mention rovers all the time, but didn't know what they meant by it.
Now I know. (^_~)b

So what's ConOps? ('.'?)

I've already explained this to michi  :)

Con Ops is short for Convention operations- they help with everything involving internal matters of the Convention meaning to keep all of the Fanime Staff in line. As well as Operations of everything happening around convention, from events, facilities, HR, guest services, info, and everything else in order to "operate" this Con.

Rovers [means to wander around and watch]- we help with everything involving external matters of the Convention meaning we keep all 18,000+ Otakus in line.... Literally starting with Registration lines and anything else involving face to face customer service and keep this Convention mostly safe and sane in all this chaos.

and now you know!
