Engage in your favorite fandoms and hobbies over the course on September 26 and 27 at RoberCon, which takes place within the Roberson Museum and Mansion (that’s right, we have a fancy mansion).
If you’re looking for a convention with a lot of things to do that isn’t over-crowded, RoberCon is your scene. You’ll connect with groups and other fans–no matter your passion or fandom. Accepting all geeks since 2012.
