Not only will the convention showcase talent from all over the country, but it will also feature vendors, demonstrations, live music, and interactive activities like their 4,000-square-foot Warhammer laser tag arena, as well as a paint-and-take station.

In addition to this, they’ve also booked influential guests and will have a mega stage where pros will go head-to-head in 4k – but that’s not all!

As if things couldn’t get any better, Game Con has also partnered with Child’s Play Charity to raise money for children in Healthcare facilities – meaning not only will you have a ton of fun, but you’ll also be doing some good.

Single-day youth passes start at just $36 per person while weekend passes start at just $87.
