Dragon Con 2008
Aug 29–Sep 1, 2008
Dragon Con 2008 ran from August 29, 2008 to September 1, 2008 in Atlanta. This edition added the Sheraton to the convention footprint while attendance stayed above 30,000, showing how quickly Dragon Con was scaling from a regional fan gathering into a major downtown pop-culture convention.
This was part of Dragon Con's major expansion decade, when additional hotels and heavier attendance turned the convention into one of the country's most visible multi-genre fan events.
