Been looking at the feedback on mask policies from two separate conferences. People seem to fall into three groups:
1) I'll go with the policy, whatever it is
2) The risk of attending an event without masks is too high, so I will not attend without a strong mask policy
3) You cannot force me to wear a mask, so I will not attend if you require them.
You can always get group 1 at your con. Choose between groups 2 and 3.
My random sampling says that group 2 is nicer than group 3. Group 2 is both easier to hang around with, and safer.
Easy choice.
