I won't be getting there this year, but I've gone in previous years -- usually ended up working the info table for large chunks of time, lol -- and it's a great con to go to. A lot quieter than most too, given the less than 2000 people thing. Although I actually moved from LA just before they moved to the Marriott, so I'm not sure exactly the structure of it anymore.

Largely unchanged from Van Nuys, really. Same program tracks, the dealers' room is about the same size and most of the staff seem to have followed along.
The LAX Marriot is great in that it's a stone's throw from the airport, but it *is* a bit of a downer in that all of the conference rooms are in the *basement* so one tends to feel a bit disoriented after a couple of days without seeing the sun.
Oh, and the hotel is, of course, godawful expensive in terms of food and drink - but I remember paying an arm and a leg at the AirTel, too...
