- a crowd favorite: the cosplay competition
- the game zone with a/o Game Mania, Nintendo, PS4, Ubisoft, Marvel, retro gaming, pinball machines, and much more
- there were large screen screenings, Q&A sessions, chill out zones, grime sessions, and so much more
We did not go to all Q&As These are (very short) the ones we went to.
Q&A Laurie Holden
On request of Laurie there were no pictures taken and there was no filming.
Laurie talked about her work in the X-files and Walking Dead. Laurie told us the group of actors working in the Walking Dead are very close.
Q&A Ray Park
Ray talked about his passion and work as a martial arts athleet (this is how he got the part of Darth Maul in Star Wars). He also talked about Star Wars and his part in it. At the end of the Q&A he gave a little workshop with a few volonteers on how to do lightsaber fights.
