After a sixth successful year, GottaCon 2015 is set to take place on February 27th to March 1st, 2015 at the Victoria Conference Centre in Victoria, BC. The 2014 show saw an incredible increase in attendance which exceeded 3,000 individual attendees and attendance for the 2015 show is expected to continue to grow.

GottaCon is a three-day broad spectrum gaming convention that is held annually in February in Victoria, British Columbia. GottaCon celebrates the science fiction and fantasy genres, covers many related hobbies and offers a one stop experience for the fans and enthusiasts of those genres.

Awesome..

I'm sure I'm going.. (kinda mandatory..)

Just talking to Kier, we're up for running some Lego D&D again..

I assume the rest of the club will do the usual Brick Wars and play bins?

We'll go over all that in the meetings thread No actual organizing of our activities here, just the announcements when they are hatched.

It is really nice to hear that the VicLUG community is excited about coming back. You are one of the communities who has been with us since the beginning. I know that many of our attendees look forward to seeing you too.

While panels are returning, we are tweaking a few things, including a focus on DIY workshops. While some panels may consist of some of your old favourites, for 2015 we really want to focus on interactive workshops (Kickstarter, games creation, world creation, DIY cosplay, model painting, etc.) and authors/writing. We are also seeking a diverse group of guests. Once again we are accepting your ideas for panels and workshops.

To get all the details on panels and workshops and how to submit your ideas your suggestions please visit our website.
