Manage episode 516306287 series 2797254
We map out how Infinity Con is reshaping the local con experience into a seven-world universe, built for creators, families, gamers, and horror fans. David shares the vision, the headaches behind the scenes, and the bold plan for themed gateways that make the show feel like a living story.
• Why Infinity Con centers creation over celebrity
• The seven worlds: Forge, Isle of Wonder, Abyss, New Renaissance, Limitless, Mystic Forest, Technotopia
• How Infinity Con balances all-ages programming with clearly marked horror zones
• Live art theaters, cosplay builds and indie game showcases
• The future: immersive gateways, story-led wayfinding and partner possibilities
Infinity Con Gainesville will be at the Alachua County Sports & Events Center on November 15–16. Get tickets at www.infinitycon.com!
