​When you take a moment to think about it, it’s quite amazing how many conventions have managed to spring up across the nation over the past five years. There’s simply one after another, to the point where an entire season is now dedicated to the wonder of conventions. But, while one would think that we’ve reached a saturation point, that’s simply not the case. Because fans have made it clear, they do indeed want more conventions, but the attendees have a few…requirements. They definitely want cons that cater to their pop-culture needs by bringing in amazing guests, but they also want their conventions to offer something more than a mere meet and greet session with celebrities.
 
People want an outright experience, the kind of weekend where your legs are sore from walking around the con and seeing everything it has to offer, and where you leave the event with nothing but incredible memories that bring a smile to your face the instant they cross your mind. That’s something that the Pop Culture Classroom family of conventions has managed to achieve since Denver Pop Culture Con has all of those elements down to a science. But, you being a savvy reader, probably just picked upon the fact that I used the phrase ‘family of conventions’, and I used that phrase for one specific reason in that, there are now, multiple conventions being presented by Pop Culture Classroom.
 
Which means, it’s time to introduce Reno Pop Culture Con to all of you, the latest offering from PCC, and this new event will feature everything you love about Denver Pop Culture Con, such as the opportunity to meet comic artists and writers, book authors and of course, it will feature celebrity guests, and those elements will be bookended nicely plenty of panels and programming and a true staple of DPCC will be present in Reno as well, by way of the Pop Culture Classroom Kids’ Lab, and of course, you’ll find a vendor room filled to the brim with perfect collectibles to take home.
 
But while this is all exciting news in its own right, because let’s be honest, it’s supremely amazing to see a hometown convention grow to the point where they can support a second convention, you’re probably curious about the finite details when it comes to Reno Pop Culture Con 2019. Well, without further ado, let’s dig into that all of that, starting with when this three-day convention is going to take place, which is November 8-10, 2019 and it will be held at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, located at: 4590 South Virginia Street, Reno, Nevada 89502. Convention hours will be from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
 
Which brings us to the most important part of this grand announcement, ticket prices. Three-day passes for Reno Pop Culture Con will run $45 for attendees 13 and up and single day ticket prices are as follows: Friday - $15, Saturday - $25 and Sunday - $20. Children 12 and under getin for free and tickets will be available online at Reno Pop Culture Con’s website, in early 2019.
