For the first time, on Saturday, Oct. 11 and Sunday, Oct. 12 from 10:00 AM-5:00 PM, The Greater Philadelphia Convention Center in Oaks will be transformed into Game Con Live, the ultimate gaming, comic, STEM, and pop-culture experience for kids ages five to 15.
“Our team designed the event to create a shared experience for families that connects multiple generations to today’s gaming and pop culture,” said Gabe Young, a Bucks County native, who is Founder of Game Con Live and a seasoned national experiential event producer. “Kids and their parents will have the chance to discover everything and everyone under one roof, from popular video games they play, comics they love, or influencers they watch, to meeting an artist they admire or a young engineer they are inspired by. And because it’s designed for families, everyone will be immersed in the fun together.”
Guests will have the chance to meet and interact with favorite YouTubers and actors, including BeckBroJack, DirtBoy, Sirud, Aaralyn Anderson, and more, as well as meet famous Marvel/DC artists like Scott Hanna and Will Torres, and other creators who will share their art.
The Cosplay Corner features the region’s largest fan groups, including Star Wars, Avengers, G.I. Joe, Spiderlings, Zelda, and more. Costumes are encouraged for fun and to compete for prizes. More than 80,000 square feet will be packed with fun and activities, including:
