BDSM Bingo: Anyone familiar with Hipster Bingo able to help with a very different kind of Bingo card?
I am going to a large BDSM/Sex Positive Convention next week with a few friends who are first-timers. I was thinking of making a Convention Bingo Card to help them see all there is to see and possibly reward winners with prizes. I have a few ideas like "Fashion Victim Transvestite", "Sociology Student Working on Thesis" and "Hello Kitty Whip/Paddle" and am looking for more. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm confused. This sounds more like a treasure hunt. Some people will really be offended by Fashion Victim Transvestite. If I were you I'd make it more like a checklist of fun, consensual activities that wouldn't be too intimidating to a first timer.
Busy right now, haven't had coffee, so will follow up later with more ideas.

Sociology Student Working on Thesis is pretty funny. "Transvestite" references are offensive. One of those is an oppressed group; the other is not. The difference is important.
Some friends and I made cards like this for a certain anarchist conference last summer, which included objects (banjo, feather in hat), inside jokes (so-and-so says something inflammatory), and things that happen (discussion about x issue, poly drama).
Some of these may be less appropriate for first-timers, who aren't going to understand the context of certain things. I'd stick to things that are easy to spot and non-offensive - use of the word "pet," Goreans, out-of-place straight swinger couple, cat-o-nine tails, etc.
Fetlife.com might be good for ideas.

Here's a few off the top of my head (conveniently, I was at the fetish fair fleamarket last weekend):
* boots that go above the knee
* vest festooned with at least two patches for leather groups.
* gas mask
* t-shirt from another leather/sex conference
* Villiage-people-style handlebar moustache
* schoolgirl miniskirt
* someone walking effortlessly in platform heels at least 5" high
* someone wearing horns
* someone wearing cat ears
* someone wearing an animal tail
* pony-play outfit
* steampunk-type outfit
* floggers made from non-leather/non-rope material (rubber tubing, chain link, etc)
* someone in a full-head hood.
* pretty little girl party dress worn by an adult
* someone being addressed as "pet"
* someone being addressed as "daddy"
* someone on a leash
* someone in a rope bondage harness.
Your center free spot could be "voluptuous cleavage on display", unless it's a male-only conference. :)

rmd1023's list is good.
I'd add:
* have someone else (a vendor) test a fairly innocuous product on you (i.e., a light smack with a paddle)
* pick a relatively complex piece of gear and ask a vendor "so how do you use this thing"
* try on a collar, harness, etc
* pick up a few free condoms
* ask someone about their tattoo(s) or piercing(s)
* tell someone something you've always wanted to try but haven't
That's all I got right now; my brain is like molasses today.

If this is Winter Fire you're going to, here are some local characters you're likely to see, provided you're looking:
* One or more guys in cop uniforms (the BDSMPD)
* A really jolly British guy
