Where to Find Nerdist Industries at WonderCon 2015!

It’s that time of year again, folks: a time of cosplay and comics, of panels and signings… a time known lovingly ’round these parts as Convention Season! You may have seen us kick the year off at Bangers, Austin for SXSW 2015, but if you’re based in the Los Angeles area, you can come see us this weekend at WonderCon 2015! Along with our pals at Geek & Sundry, we’ll be hanging out all weekend long at Booth #1612, right in the heart of the con floor.

All your Nerdist favorites will be there, including Jessica Chobot (Nerdist News, Bizarre States), Dan Casey (The Dan Cave), Malik Forte (Nerdist Play), and Kyle Hill (Because Science). We’ll also have signings with Chris Hardwick, Felicia Day, and Jessica Chobot, a whole host of Nerdist and Geek & Sundry merch available for purchase, and of course, giveaways a-plenty. Among the sweet items you can nab are con-exclusive Nerdist sunglasses and temporary tattoos, as well as Magic the Gathering goodies to celebrate Geek & Sundry’s Spellslingers Season 3! But wait, there’s MORE: we’ll also be showcasing live editions of Nerdist News, the Nerdist Writers Panel, and Geek & Sundry Trivia, AND hosting several panels throughout the weekend. Yeah. It’s a good time to be a nerd.

And because we love you so much, we want to hang out with you! Come chat with us, enter to win some of our awesome prizes, take a few nerdy snapshots in our photobooth, and keep your eyes peeled for a few surprise guests throughout the Con.
