You’ll connect with groups and other fans–no matter your passion or fandom. Accepting geeks since 2012.
The convention takes place Sep 26 – 27 from 10AM – 5PM both days (plus some after hours stuff).
Where is RoberCon?
Usually RoberCon is held in Binghamton, NY. However, this year, the convention will take place online across Zoom and Discord.
What can I expect to do at RoberCon?
Connect with people through panels, tabletop gaming, wandering the convention halls, and writing workshops with published authors. There’s also a cosplay contest on Sunday and late-night gaming Saturday on the Discord server.
There are also merchants ready to show off their books, art, plushies, figurines, games, and all manner of geek-related items. There will also be fan groups to connect with and join.
