TIFTON – Get ready to immerse yourself in a world of fandom and fun at ThunderCon 2024, the second annual pop culture convention at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. Scheduled for September 14, this highly anticipated event promises to be bigger, better, and more exciting than ever before.
“We are very excited to host ThunderCon again this year,” said Shawn Burnette, Coordinator of Student Activities. “We had such a positive response from ABAC students and the community about last year’s event, that we decided to expand upon our vendor and artist spaces. If they make or sell anything related to pop culture, anime, comics, or movies they are welcome at ThunderCon.”
Hosted in the Carlton Center from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., ThunderCon aims to bring together ABAC students, faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the Tifton community and surrounding areas to celebrate a wide variety of interests and hobbies, from anime and comic books to video games, sci-fi, fantasy and trading card games.
This year, ThunderCon is taking it up a notch by offering more panel presentations and a cosplay contest. Enthusiasts from the Tifton and ABAC communities can apply to host their own panel, sharing their passion and knowledge about any pop culture subject. Additionally, cosplayers of all skill levels are invited to compete in the cosplay contest, showcasing their creativity and craftsmanship.
Registration for vendors and artists is now open, with a fee of $40 for vendors and $30 for artists. Registered participants will receive one eight-foot table, two chairs, and admission for themselves and an assistant. Additional setup items are welcome, allowing vendors and artists to create a unique and eye-catching display.
