The Con has updated its Tech rules to keep pace with the times, and selfie sticks, live streaming from panels, e-cigs and more are all prohibited:

Saskatoon Blitz is an anime/cosplay focused event that has been running for a few years with a good reputation, so this isn't a first year show meltdown, but they do seem to have had some real organizational problems this time out. Several exhibitors had problems with staff over tables in artists alley being first come, first served (what?) and then confusion over the show's hours led to a dispute that ended with an exhibitor being escorted from the show.
