![]() This year, BlerdCon ran from July 7 to 9, and this groundbreaking convention continues to fill up and fulfill its mission statement, “BlerdCon (Black Nerd Convention) is a convention that celebrates black nerd culture while also being inclusive of all backgrounds.” This year’s celebration went by the theme Fae’d to Black, which centered on the “mystical realm of fantasy creatures often associated with nature, such as fairies, elves, satyrs, nymphs and trolls.” He’s even working crossover events on stage at Wooly Mammoth. He has been very busy the past year hitting lots of other conventions like Momocon, Katsucon and MAGfest to hold BlerdCon panels. We were able to get a quick picture of BlerdCon’s CEO Hilton George as he was going from a meeting to an event. That was a good thing because BlerdCon is so huge now that it’s always busy and packed with free standing video games, video game competitions, interesting panels, a busy table-top-RPG room and large events like the cosplay competition and dances. The events this year were held at both the Hyatt Regency Crystal City and the quieter Courtyard Marriott which is right across the street. That made it easy to get to, whether attendees were coming from the nearby cities surrounding Washington, D.C. Held in Arlington, Virginia this year, it was within walking distance to Reagan National Airport and had easy access to Metro stations and Amtrak trains. The BlerdCon Convention in 2023 was bigger than one hotel could hold as the amazing event keeps getting larger and larger. ![]()
