Q-Con is back!
We’re ready to take Belfast by storm once again with a whole weekend of gaming in all its forms.
Whether you’re into video games, tabletop roleplay, wargames, LARP, anime, TCGs or comics this is going to be the event of the year for you! We’ll have hobby fans from all over the UK and Ireland coming to compete in competitions or just chill out and meet like-minded people.
Q-Con is now into its nineteenth iteration and we’ve done nothing but grow on our journey, with our event in 2011 having an unbelievable 1700 people in attendance over the course of the weekend. Tickets to Q-Con sell out less as a matter of “if” but “when”, so make sure to pre-order as soon as possible!
Every year, the event is organised and staffed entirely by a group of gaming fans from the Queen’s University gaming society, Dragonslayers. Q-Con is very much for the fans, by the fans and we love the games we run just as much as the attendees love playing them. We have competitions and casuals of all forms of gaming, as well as a range of anime-themed events (the biggest of which being the cosplay masquerade, allowing keen costumers to strut their stuff on stage) and talks from special guests. It’s not all about us, though; we also host fund-raising events for local charities.
We started off as a collection of hobbyists having a few mates around for some gaming and some fun and we’d like to think that, despite playing host to nearly 2000 people – many of which will be new faces – we haven’t lost the atmosphere of a group of like-minded fans spreading the love of geek culture and generally having a bit of a laugh. No matter who you are, whether you’re tall, short, thick, thin, vampire (sparkly or otherwise), werewolf, orc, dragon, zombie, pirate, ninja or just from down the road, you’re invited to come along and enjoy the craic!
Q-Con XIX is blasting into the Queen’s University Belfast Students’ Union from the 22nd to 24th of June, 2012. Pre-registration is available online and by post at a reduced rate of £15 (on the day weekend registration is £20, or £10 for a one-day pass) and we recommend pre-registration to avoid disappointment.
