Dragon Con 2017
Aug 31–Sep 4, 2017
Dragon Con 2017 ran from August 31, 2017 to September 4, 2017 in Atlanta. This edition passed 80,000 attendees, making it one of the largest pop-culture conventions in the country, showing how quickly Dragon Con was scaling from a regional fan gathering into a major downtown pop-culture convention.
The 2017 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.
