Planning a convention trip
Dates, venues and ticket prices change every year, so each convention page shows the next announced edition and links the official site. Big conventions sell badges months ahead and hotel blocks open early.
If you bring a prop, read the convention’s weapon and prop policy: many US cons check props at the door and ban realistic replica firearms.
How conventions are rated
Attendees score organisation, lines and crowds, guests and panels, and how cosplay-friendly the convention felt, and say which year they went.

Bringing a prop?
Every convention page links its official prop and weapon policy. Read how convention prop checks work before you pack.
