TempleCon 2016

TempleCon is a freaking huge and strangely not uptight science-fiction and gaming convention held annually in New England. Our latest and greatest creation, TempleCon 2016, is our 11th show and will be held August 25-28 2016 at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Warwick, RI! Founded in 2006, TempleCon is a celebration of all things with a science fiction and retro-futurism theme, right next door to one of the coolest cities in the world, Providence, Rhode Island. It's a volunteer-run three day festival of sights, sounds, tabletop games, classic arcade action, live music, and a ton more. TempleCon is also a highly social event, which means that while we're all about the entertainment, we're even more about the people who love it. We started TempleCon eleven years ago for a lot of reasons, but one of them is because we think that things gaming and fandom need to finally be dragged out of the basement and into the ballroom. TempleCon intentionally breaks a lot of the long-standing concepts of "geek" conventions, and offers up a diverse event full of wild parties, great games, performances, guests, workshops, vendors, and a ton more stuff that we think you'll like. In a convention circuit dominated by mega-expos focusing on getting as much cheap crap into your hands as possible, we think you may find TempleCon a breath of fresh air if you are searching for something different.
