Dragon Con 2000
Jun 29–Jul 2, 2000
Dragon Con 2000 ran from June 29, 2000 to July 2, 2000 in Atlanta. This edition pushed attendance to about 20,000 while operating across multiple downtown buildings, showing how quickly Dragon Con was scaling from a regional fan gathering into a major downtown pop-culture convention.
By 2000, the convention was firmly centered on downtown Atlanta and its connected event spaces, with Labor Day weekend becoming the anchor that helped define the modern Dragon Con experience.
