Calling all pop culture enthusiasts, cosplayers, and avid fans! Get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey into the realm of comics, movies, gaming, and all things geek at Denver's highly anticipated 2023 Fan Expo.
I've been looking for an excuse to show off my meticulously crafted Doctor Who cosplay, and I can't think of a better place than my FIRST comic con.
Set to be a grand celebration of all aspects of fandom, this year's event promises an extraordinary lineup of attractions, special guests, immersive experiences, and so much more. Let's dive into the excitement and explore why Denver's 2023 Fan Expo is shaping up to be my ultimate cherry-popping event, and an exciting destination for fans of all ages.
A Gathering of Icons
Denver's Fan Expo is renowned for attracting a stellar lineup of celebrity guests, ranging from beloved actors and actresses to influential artists and writers. Prepare to be starstruck as you have the opportunity to meet and interact with your favorite icons from movies, TV shows, and the comic book industry. Whether you're a Marvel fanatic, a die-hard Star Wars enthusiast, or a fan of classic sci-fi, the chance to get autographs, snap selfies, and engage in memorable conversations with your heroes awaits you. Am I excited Peter Cullun, who has been voicing Optimus Prime for decades, will be in the same room as me? Yes. Yes, I am.
I'm particularly saving up money for a photo-op with none other than young Vader himself: Hayden Christensen. Star Wars has been deeply intertwined in my childhood and beyond, leading me to become champion of family Star Wars trivia (don't be jealous, my nephews!)
If you're interested in helping me achieve my goal, you can graciously donate HERE or come join my live Star Wars themed Twitch stream on Satuday June 10th at twitch.tv/JacksSmirk. Decked out in my Hoth Leia outfit, I'll be starting early and ending late, entertaining all who watch with Star Wars trivia, games, and maybe even a D&D Star Wars themed one-shot with family and friends.
Cosplay Extravaganza
One of the highlights of any fan expo is the incredible display of cosplay, and Denver's 2023 Fan Expo is no exception. Don your best costume, channel your favorite characters, and become part of the immersive cosplay community. From meticulously crafted replicas to imaginative mash-ups, the expo floor will be teeming with creativity and passion. Take part in the cosplay contests, meet fellow cosplayers, and be prepared for countless photo opportunities. The sense of camaraderie and shared love for fandom is an experience like no other. There will even be a cosplay repair station for those pesky cosplay emergencies!
Personally, I'll be on the lookout in the schedule for the Doctor Who cosplay meet up! I'll try to remember to udpate the day/time HERE when it's released.
Immersive Exhibits and Interactive Experiences
Prepare to step into the worlds of your favorite franchises through the expo's immersive exhibits and interactive experiences. From walking through life-size recreations of iconic sets to participating in virtual reality adventures, there will be no shortage of excitement. Engage in lightsaber duels, test your gaming skills against fellow attendees, and explore pop culture history through captivating displays. The expo floor will be a treasure trove of merchandise, comics, collectibles, and art, offering the perfect opportunity to find unique mementos and treasures to take home.
Panels, Workshops, and Q&A Sessions
