Written by John Edward Betancourt In my many years now of writing for the web, I’ve been able to experience some incredibly nerdy moments by way of some pretty awesome events. But of the many places I’ve been and the wild things I’ve seen, few of them ever compare to the wonder of Denver Pop Culture Con. Because this is a home grown convention that I’ve been fortunate enough to attend and cover since its inception, and seeing this convention grow through the years has been a true treat since it’s gone from its humble beginnings as the largest con in Colorado to one of the biggest and most popular conventions in the United States. That kind of growth and outright popularity and sheer demand definitely holds weight, because it means that bigger names from every corner of the pop culture industry are willing to take the time to appear at the convention and greet the seemingly endless lines of nerds and geeks waiting to meet them, and over the past several years, we’ve seen that happen since some incredible guests have graced the Colorado Convention Center and their fans with their presence. But as fate or luck would have it, DPCC’s stellar attendance numbers and reputation as a solid destination for some of the industry’s biggest names has now helped to bring one of the most iconic gaming companies to the Mile High City since Blizzard Entertainment is going to be at DPCC 2019. Now for those who aren’t 100% familiar with that name, that’s okay, I totally understand that not everyone out there dedicates their time to video games. But that name should sound familiar simply due to the fact that this company has brought some supremely iconic franchises to the market. So, if you’ve heard of World of Warcraft in any capacity, you’ve definitely heard of Blizzard and if you ever picked up Diablo or Starcraft back in the day, you’ve enjoyed their product and this company’s rich legacy of putting together quality and dynamic games continues in this day and age, thanks to the release of their most recent juggernaut, Overwatch. Which means having them at DPCC is quite the big deal because not only will they have a booth at the con (Booth 1237 to be exact) that will undoubtedly be a feast for the eyes, they’re bringing some incredible Denver Pop Culture Con exclusives with them and the wonder of their appearance at the con doesn’t end there. Because there will be Blizzard themed panels happening as well during the con, allowing for fans of this company, and folks who want to learn more about them a chance to hear first-hand, how their creative teams craft their incredible stories and really, this is quite the awesome addition to DPCC’s already incredible roster when all is said and done. Because Blizzard really is no joke, and as a casual gamer who sticks to like to a handful of franchises, I’m both excited and intrigued by their appearance at the con simply because their reputation and their legend outright precedes them and well, if you’re as curious as I am, or you’re a huge fan of everything they’ve ever brought to the gaming market, you’ll get your chance to meet them next weekend when DPCC kicks off and if by chance you haven’t picked up your tickets yet for the con, and you’re a huge fan of Blizzard’s work and want to meet folks from the company and get your hands on those exclusives, then get your tickets ASAP since the con really is just around the corner, and we will see you at Booth 1237 come next weekend at Denver Pop Culture Con 2019.
