Con.ect 2016
Venue: Vodacom Indoor Sports Centre
Dates: 30/07/2016 to 31/07/2016
Times: 10am - 6pm
Con.ect is a not-for-profit organisation based in Port Elizabeth, that hosts the annual Con.ect convention. This event brings together aficionados and lovers of geek and popular culture, to celebrate these interests in a communal space; a space where like-minded people can gather and share their passions, and where associated genres – movies, comic books, and games – can mingle and grow in the hopes of allowing Port Elizabeth to become a focal point of popular culture in South Africa.
Given the phemonenal attendance of 700 at Con.ect 2015, numerous activities are planned for 2016.
These are run side-by-side on the day of the main event. We stage smaller events and appearances throughout the year, too – so keep your eyes peeled!
- Cosplay
- Figurines
- Comics
- Video gaming (PC & console, LAN play)
- Tabletop gaming (board games, CCGs, etc.)
- Movie memoribilia
- Technology displays (under consideration)
- Game Jam / Hackathon (under consideration)
We’re open to all sorts of geek and popular culture related activities!
Con.ect is totally family friendly, grab your kid sister and grandpa and come join the fun at Con.ect 2016!
