Dragon Con
Dragon Con is a massive Atlanta pop-culture convention spanning science fiction, fantasy, comics, gaming, costuming, media guests, and fan programming. Founded in 1987, it grew into one of the largest multi-genre fan conventions in the United States, with a downtown hotel footprint that became part of its identity.
Gaming is only one piece of Dragon Con, but it has long been a substantial one, with tabletop, video, and live interactive programming folded into the wider event. Official materials describe close to 5,000 hours of programming across the convention.
