We can say that we’ve heard volunteering for a few hours at the blood drive will also qualify you for an entry into said giveaway, but you’d need to contact the organizers directly for specifics.

So now that everyone is mostly recovered from #DragonCon2025, and the PCD is at least manageable…

What are you looking forward to next? A convention? Book release? Movie? Vacation?

Dragon Con would like everyone to know that Tech Ops does *not* have secret lairs, and the rumble you hear in the back corner of Grand East is the hotel HVAC and *not* a dragon they found sleeping under a chair in the Art Show 27 years ago and have been keeping in the Hyatt ever since

Ohhh, so that’s what happened when I stopped to lean against a wall in Centennial, fell through, and found myself in a giant empty r o o m.

I thought I had just found one of Tech Ops’ secret lairs

Dragon Con Backrooms — #DragonCon2025

There's a great underground empire at Dragon Con... Hang a left at the TVA, go past the Capitol's tribute center, and be careful not to trip into the pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

That contest is put on by an outside group working directly with Lifesouth. Neither the group nor their contest are affiliated with Dragon Con

No, we aren’t wandering around the Marriott with a few thousand of our closest friends. Sadly.

We aren’t wandering around, however, getting ready for #DragonCon2026. And we restocked the web store with more merchandise.

Get your membership and some swag before prices go up…

We love that the streaming membership was able to bring a little bit of @dragoncon.org to folks who had a hard time getting there in person... and also to our vendors over in AmericasMart!

Missing all the hubbub? Get your streaming memberships at dragoncon.tv!

We didn’t stay in a host hotel this year, so bought the streaming membership. DCTV really helps us feel like we can take part in the show outside of our booth. 💜💛🐉

The Center for Puppetry Arts is really cool! Definitely go check it out if you're still in the area!

We’ve got a little PCD (that’s Post-Con Depression) treatment for all you puppetry track fans (and everyone else who wants to try something new and cool…)

Show your badge at the box office at the Center for Puppetry Arts, and you get half off admission to their Worlds of Puppetry museum.
