That's what their websites are for. All the info you need to know about a con will be at their websites or even through the first few posts of a discussion thread.

I think adding too much info would just make the list cluttered. I'm sure a few clicks will get people to the info they need.

Oh I heard that's an exciting thing to happen (coming to Toronto) and certainly one I'd like to know about! Thank you! I wish I had more experience making elaborate cosplays for that one! (I'd consider myself still a beginner)

The thing about the websites is yes that it has a lot of information but doesn't answer everything such as atmosphere, what to do and what to see and if it is worth said amount, etc. If that makes any sense at all.
