Beta backers are free to bring the game to cons & tournaments if they're able to, no beefs from us.
We personally aren't planning to attend cons in the near future. Not only is there the matter of the logistics and finances involved in hauling people places, but since we want to release the 1.0 version of the game this year, we're using all our available time on gamedev.
Our QA guys (and probably Nappy) might attend a couple of their local events, but they're events they were planning to go to in any case.
