FallCon is very inviting to new attendees - it's grown from 200 attendees 10 years ago to around 1,000 today, and that's by being accessible and open to newcomers.
They have volunteers walking around whose role it is to teach games to attendees. You can pick any game from their library and organizers will try to find someone to teach it to you. If you need more players for a game, stick a red pilon on your table and other people will come join if they're interested in playing. Conversely, you can just walk around and people will invite you to join a game they're about to start.
Yes, it's true that some people at FallCon only play with the friends they've shown up with. But unless you're a severe introvert who can't speak at all with strangers, you'll have no problem meeting new people and playing games.
