WHAT IS PIXEL CON?
To put it simply, Pixel Con is a convention in the honor of gaming! The gaming world is one that has consistently proven its popularity, and includes several demographics all over the world. It is an extremely interesting aspect of our modern culture, and we felt a convention dedicated to gaming could show some much needed appreciation to all of the different components of the gaming communities. Pixel Con will follow a layout similar to several popular conventions. The convention plans to include:
=- An Art Showcase for Gamer-inspired artwork!
=- Cosplay Contest!
=- Panel discussions exploring different aspects of the gaming world!
=- Gaming tournaments in the form of First Person Shooter, Sports, and Brawl!
=- Gamer-inspired musical acts!
=- Interactive art activities!
=- Booths reserved for vendors relative to gaming (SWAG!)
=- A Retro Gaming Room; a place to play classic video games on original consoles!
=- Possible Table-top Gaming!
=- Possible RPG Gaming!
=- Showcase of contestant work submitted for Game Jam, a contest put on by Paul Kilgo that challenges teams to develop a game using XNA software!
=- Rock Band Contest!
