Designer-Con moving to Fresno in 2017!!!

Designer Con, the annual art and design convention announced they are moving the convention to Fresno in 2017. Ben Goretsky, one of the show coordinators, and self-titled, “Mr. D-Con,” explained the move in a statement saying, “I love Pasadena. And the city has treated us well for the past 11 years. But as everyone knows we simply need more space. D-Con has outgrown Pasadena. We right now have 70,000sqft of exhibition space for 2016, but at the Fresno Convention Center in 2017 we will have 139,200 sq ft to showcase collectible toys, designer apparel, and underground pop art. And Fresno also is in a strategic location that makes it easier for Northern Californians to attend. I’m very excited with this new relationship between the City of Fresno and D-Con. Go Dogs Go!” Although we’re still scratching our heads over the choice of Fresno, we hope that having more space will allow more designer toy artists and convention veterans to secure a booth easily without headaches in the years to come. Anyone know a good place to eat in Fresno?
