Dragon Con Goes Virtual – September 3-7 2020

It’s that time of year where we would be heading to downtown Atlanta for the best cosplay in the world, panels, gaming, vendors, films, puppetry, musical performances, the walk of fame, the parade and parties galore better known as the epic Dragon Con weekend. This year things are different due to the current state of our world, but lucky for us Dragon Con is going virtual this year and it is going to be pretty awesome!

Dragon Con Goes Virtual starts tomorrow, September 3rd and runs through Monday, September 7th. There is a full schedule of events, click here to see the Dragon Con quick start guide including info on gaming, costume contests, the Dragon Con Discord , guest autographs and virtual hangouts, the virtual vendor hall and more!

You can view the broadcast live streaming here, the Vimeo App or my personal favorite the Dragon Con goes Virtual channel on Roku. You can download it for free and watch the streaming there as well. I’ve been watching DCTV this week and it’s almost as good as being at a host hotel!

Here is some information on the 3 channels running throughout the event.

• DCTVLand/Classics feed which will feature Dragon Con content from previous years. Hello…can we say John Barrowman panels? Holla! If you have never experienced one of his panels then do yourself a favor and check one out this weekend (he wears a TARDIS dress in one of them and it was amazing!)
• Track programming is what truly sets Dragon Con apart other conventions.  There are over 35 fan tracks (literally whatever you are interested in, there is something for you). These tracks all offer panels and events to cater the interest of the fans. Some content will be on this channel and because there is so much content available, some events will be on the fan tracks social media channels and YouTube (I’ve included more information on this below).
• The Main Channel will highlight new guest programming like the Star Trek Discovery Cast, Felicia Day and Tai Chi with Erin Gray (a con favorite), Hocus Pocus Cast, performances from Dragon Con performers (DJ Spider dance parties or Voltaire at 12:15am on Sunday – yes please!), the two main costume contests, the virtual parade and much more.

Fan tracks are a huge part of Dragon Con, click here to see the full schedule for all the Fan tracks. Please note, not all content is posted in the quick guide. Make sure to check the fan track link above in addition to the schedule in the quick guide to see everything available. Bookmark the social media pages and content you are interested in now so you are ready for the weekend.

I definitely will miss seeing my Dragon Con family in person this year. The friendships I’ve made at Dragon Con over the last 10 years are my favorite thing about this community. This year, I am excited to be a panelist on the following panels (both on the Urban Fantasy Fan Track and can be found on their Facebook page or YouTube channel)
