ABOUT
VikingCon is a cultural convention along the lines of Comic-Con and PAX that serves as a place for individuals involved in the comic, television, literature, and gaming worlds across all levels of experience to come together and engage in meaningful conversations and explorations. Through various activities and panels, attendees are able to celebrate their passion for their interests, while also participating in important discussions about society and culture as represented in various aspects of these industries. Several topics illuminated in this year’s conference include monsters and morality in fantasy, the complex relationship between science and science fiction, and queer representation in nerd culture, among many others.
We aim to bring industry professionals outside of the fast-paced business world, and into an intimate conversation. This will be an opportunity to build connections and start a discussion around comic, television, and gaming culture, not just as art forms, but as movements that unite people. Let’s ask questions and get involved.
The conference will take place on WWU’s campus in Bellingham, WA on Saturday, May 3rd, and will include up to 12 panels with comic/gaming/television industry professionals covering topics from across all areas of nerd pop culture, a featured keynote speaker, and an exclusive Exhibition Hall featuring local and regional creators, retailers, and WWU clubs.
