I'm not sure if you're serious...?
LARP to me has little to do with the fighting. Drachenfest is fun, but most LARP combat is boring and doesn't form the basics of what it is to me. LARP is roleplaying. Acting.

For ideas you could pull off at a con, anything from witch hunts where you hand out flyers, arrest and trial con goers for their "magical" tools granted by the Devils such as cellphones or their weird hair colour.
Right up to doing things like a little camp where you simply portray camp life, pull congoers into a dancing class given by a lady-in-waiting, let them learn something nonsensical and fun from students of a (wizardry) university. Swordfighting, etiquette, in world lore, you can teach con goers anything.

Heck, you could put down your I-can't-believe-it's-not-Saxons and teach them how to do early rap battles (flyting), card weaving, pull them into some weird little ritual.

There's endless posibbilites all based on what kind of LARP(group) you want to portray and want to pull the congoers into. I mean what are the non-combat, non gameist, small things you do to make your LARP come to live? Take those, make them congoer friendly which is quite a challenge. And then get them interested, hooked, and sunk.

So can anybody find me a better helmet than the kettle helmet?

Protip: you can't.
