They’ve displayed their commitment during multiple events across the area, from conventions to weekly game tournaments. <br /><br />Even with the passion this community has displayed, they have continued to be severely underserved when it comes to large events. It is our purpose to fix that. <br /><br />Vendors of all shapes and sizes; comic book stores, cell phone retailers, video game outlets, book stores, hobby shops, artists, writers, and more. The event will also feature National Headliners including comic book artists, stars of TV and film, and professional cos-play groups. Geek’d Con will also host a full-scale cos-play competition. The potential for live-interactive sponsored events and panels exists as well.</p>
