ABOUT HASHTAGCON
HashtagCon is built as an alternative to the sprawling all-in-one convention. Instead of folding everything into one event, it runs separately branded shows for TCG, Cosplay, Anime, Print and Unplugged, each with a slate you can realistically get through. HashtagCon: TCG runs eight monthly shows and four seasonal Mega Weekends a year.
ABOUT HASHTAG GAMING ARENA
Hashtag Gaming Arena is a game store, arcade, bar and event venue in Herndon, Va., with a publishing arm, Hashtag Comics. Billed as the largest casual and competitive TCG space in the Mid-Atlantic, it produces roughly 650 events a year and hosted more than 90,000 attendees last year.
