We are excited to be back for our 11th year. We are back at the Indianapolis Convention Center and have a lot of great events planned. We have been expanding our marketing, creating new experiences for fans so they have more reasons to come back for multiple days and continue to look for ways to improve their engagement on the show floor like bringing back the free trading cards. We hope to see you all back June 27 – 29 2025

Free PopCon Trading Cards Return Update!
We have gotten some good submissions but are looking for more, particularly ones that highlight PopCon, PopCon activities and guests at one of the shows. Some suggestions include Laser Tag, Escape Room, Podcast Awards, Cosplay, Secret Games, VR, Board Games, Art, Movies, Magic Shows, Kids Zone, etc. If you missed it or just joined we are going to give out free PopCon Trading Cards again and you have a chance to be a part of the action. Submit your art and you will have the chance to get free trading cards with your art to give out at your booth. Our fans can go through the hall on a scavenger hunt of sorts to try and collect them all. We are excited to bring this back to help engage more people at the show and keep them on the floor. The cards are printed 2.5″ by 3.5″. The art will be positioned in a 2.5″ by 2.5″ position above the text, so that is the art size. The art can be transparent or include a background. All submissions and questions should go to holly@popcon.us before the May 2nd Deadline. The number of unique cards is limited and not everyone can be chosen that submits.
Kids Zone Stage Opportunity
There will be a new program feature this year were we will have mini-panels and workshops in the Kids Zone area at both shows. If you would have an interest in promoting something that is kid friendly; toy, program, story, art project, game, or any other activity you can think of let us know and we will share with the Kids Zone manager can add you for one of the 20 to 25 time slots.
Parting Words
As always thank you for being an important part of PopCon and helping our fans have a great experience! You have been an important part of our success and growth and we look forward to growing with you for years to come! Please let us know if you have questions or need anything from us!
