The First Official Game of Thrones Fan Convention Is Coming This Winter

Winter is coming… and so is the first official Game of Thrones fan convention, featuring special guests, panel discussions, autograph signing sessions, and a whole lot more.

The latest news from King’s Landing dropped on Thursday when it was revealed that House of the Dragon would be swooping into the Los Angeles Convention Center for the Game of Thrones fan convention on December 9-11, with Paddy Considine, Steve Toussaint, and Matthew Needham joining the list of guest attendees at the event.

House of the Dragon co-creator and executive producer Ryan Condal will also be making a virtual appearance live from London where he is currently working on Season 2 of the epic fantasy drama. He will be joining convention hosts Jason Concepcion and Greta Johnsen to reflect on the first season of the show, which is out on Blu-ray on December 20.

Other highlights at the event include a live taping of The Official Game of Thrones Podcast: House of the Dragon podcast, a workshop with David J. Peterson about the Dothraki and High Valyrian languages, a panel with the developers of the Game of Thrones: Conquest mobile game, as well as props and set pieces, competitions, and exclusive merchandise.

Fans will also have the chance to get up close and personal with various cast members through meet and greets, autograph signings, and photo ops. The star-studded guest line-up features several Game of Thrones stars, including Alfie Allen, Kit Harington, Kristofer Hivju, Kristian Nairn, Daniel Portman, Gemma Whelan, and Isaac Hempstead Wright.

The Game of Thrones convention comes hot on the heels of HBO’s House of the Dragon. After the first season wrapped, IGN noted that the spinoff series had managed to forge “its own identity and established itself as a worthy prequel to Game of Thrones” — thanks to its “strong writing, wildly overqualified cast, and veritable flock of dragons.”

Tickets are now on sale for the Game of Thrones fan convention. Single-day general admission tickets are $65 per day, while other ticket types and packages are more expensive.
