About this Event
Geek'd Con. For local geeks. By local geeks.
The geek community in the Ark-La-Tex is pound-for-pound the biggest, and most passionate, groups of geeks you can find anywhere. They’ve displayed their commitment during multiple events across the area, from conventions to weekly game tournaments.
Even with the passion this community has displayed, they have continued to be severely under-served when it comes to large events. It was our purpose to fix that.
Vendors of all shapes and sizes; comic book stores, video game outlets, collectible dealers, toy vendors, artists, writers, and more. The event will also feature National Headliners including stars of TV and film, comic book artists, and professional cos-players.

FAQs
What can/can't I bring to the event?
- No outside food or beverage allowed inside. Personal cameras and backpacks are allowed. No projectile/sharp/dangerous cosplay accessories allowed. All cosplay must follow the Geek'd Con and Convention Center Cosplay Rules. Those rules can be found at GeekdCon.com
Are tickets available at the Box Office?
- Yes. The Box Office at the Convention Center will be open about 60 minutes before doors open each day, and will be open during the event.
What is Vendor's Night on Friday?
- Friday night is a shorter night for our show, and we focus on our fantastic vendors. We regularly have over 200 vendor booths set up inside the event. This night gives you the first shot at shopping from this wide-range of vendors. If there's a specific comic book, trading card, or action figure you've been searching for, you can be the first to check out the vendor inventory before the big Saturday and Sunday crowds come in.
When will the celebrities be there?
- Our celebrity guests are contracted for Saturday and Sunday of the event. However, sometimes you'll see a guest or two hanging out on Friday night, but its not guaranteed.
Is my ticket transferrable?
- Online tickets are non-transferrable. Physical tickets are allowed to be transferred, gifted, or resold. If you buy your tickets online, and want to give them to someone else, you can simply print a physical copy of the tickets.
Do you allow Cosplay?
- YES! We highly encourage it! You can find our cosplay rules at GeekdCon.com
What is the refund policy?
- Unless the event is canceled, refunds are not available.
Do celebrities charge for autographs and pictures?
- Yes. Each guest will have a price for autographs and photos. The guests set these prices themselves, and keep 100% of that money. Geek'd Con doesn't receive any of that money, or get a say in the prices.
Do I need to bring something for a celebrity to sign?
- You can bring something if you'd like, but each guest will have 8x10 photos available when you purchase an autograph.
Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?
- No there is no ID requirements. No age limit. All ages welcome.
What if I bought a weekend pass and lose my wristband?
