[PE] Con.ect 2016 - 30-31 July

edited in Events
Con.ect 2015 was a considerable success here in the Friendly City, attracting 700 attendees, and many newcomers...

Con.ect 2016 promises to be bigger and better. This year the con will be held at the NMMU Vodacom Indoor Sports Centre, running 10am-6pm Sat 30-Sun 31 July, and should be an engaging weekend for all, including kids & families.

Sponsors, vendors and exhibitors include Ster Kinekor, Wizard's Warehouse, BMW, Baywest Mall, Artifactory, Dark Carnival, Project Mayhem, Sin Bin, RCD Cosplay, Exclusive Books, Bargain Books and many others, with more onboard each week. Everything geeky and pop-culture related, from CCGs to figurines, steampunk to classic fantasy, cars to console and PC gaming, movies and series, cosplay and facepainting, crafts to comic books... all this and more will be waiting for afficionados and newcomers to discover on 30-31 July. Last year we had several cosplayers from JHB, CT and DBN and hope to welcome further out-of-towners this year to add to the festive atmosphere.

On our website you can read about the event, get us on social media, see our sponsors and gallery, and buy tickets online via WebTicket. There will be prizes, giveaways at the door for earlycomers and enough to entertain you for a full day or two; a cosplay masquerade will be held on Saturday and a competition on Sunday, with prizes for the top cosplayers; while PC, console, and trading card gaming will be ongoing throughout the weekend. Book now!
