Show Info
Welcome to BookCon
BookCon is a two-day event where storytelling and pop culture collide.
Step into a weekend where stories come alive and fantasy meets reality. Where meeting your favorite author is just the beginning of your adventure. From intimate author chats and immersive experiences to book swaps that feel like treasure hunts, we're building an event for lovers of storytelling in all its forms.
Consider this your official permission slip to geek out about that one specific paragraph on page 247 that made you throw the book across the room (in the best way possible). Whether you're a longtime BookTube, Bookstagram, or BookTok creator or someone who quietly devours three books a week in your favorite reading nook, your chapter in this story is essential.
Things To Do
Book Signings
There's nothing quite like meeting the creative minds behind the stories that changed your life. Get your books signed and have that perfect moment with your favorite author. From chart-topping favorites to the indie authors about to become your new obsession, these signings are where fan dreams become reality.
Evening Events
When the Show Floor winds down, the real party begins. Our Fantasy Ball is where readers transform into their favorite characters for a night of dancing, music, and pure celebration. Dancing not your jam? We will have other nighttime hangout goings on, too, so stay tuned for all those details!
