Have a plan, but be willing to be flexible. Research the panels, guests, and vendors that will be there and pick a few things that you really want to go to. Then pick some alternates, and leave some open time to explore the stuff you didn't even imagine would be there.

Also, try something new. If you are a superhero fan, spend some time with the manga stuff. If you love comics, check out some TV shows previews or producers. If you are a gamer, visit some author tables. Mix it up and see if there is something else you might be interested in.
