Dragon Con 2013
Aug 30–Sep 2, 2013
Dragon Con 2013 ran from August 30, 2013 to September 2, 2013 in Atlanta. This edition officially transitioned from Dragon*Con to Dragon Con and drew about 57,000 attendees, showing how quickly Dragon Con was scaling from a regional fan gathering into a major downtown pop-culture convention.
The 2013 show reflected a convention that had grown far beyond its hotel-con roots into a sprawling city-center event, with cosplay, media tracks, gaming, and fan programming spread across multiple downtown buildings.
