So we’ve been posting Designer Con 2014 news seemingly non-stop, but with the event just two days away (11.8 – 11.9) in Pasadena we thought we’d pause for just a second to focus on this year’s show itself. As big as last year’s show was, it’s even bigger this year with the addition of two ballrooms at the front of the convention center to the exhibition floor. Take a minute to check out the new floor map after the jump –- the front of the show now faces Green street.
Beyond the booths, this year’s event schedule features several interesting panels including a primer on Crowdfunding (Sat @ 10 AM) and an exploration of the ethics of ‘Bootleg’ resins (Sunday @ 4 PM). And… for the first time – a Pajama Party (Saturday, 8 – Midnight), free to 2-day pass holders, in the Dcon lobby. We’re not quite sure what to expect, but we’ll be there snapping away :)
If you’re looking for more collectibles, Designer Con has several official show goodies including free DCon buttons from Button Lab, the Touma Dcon Coin ($10, booth #122), Dcon Mascot Vincent Mini Figures and more. For an extra bit of fun, the Vincent minis will be available in five colors at five booths for $2 each. If you collect ‘em all, you can get a bonus sixth GID figure from the official Dcon booth [#122]. Oh, and did we mention that that there will be free ESC Toy plushies for the first 200 attendees each day ?
Tickets are $5 a day if you purchase in advance online or $7 at the door. With the impressive vendor lineup (300+) and expanded floor, Dcon 2014 is the equal of SDCC and NYCC in terms of the designer/indie market. See y’all there.
