Game & Geek Expo: A Celebration of Fandom, Gaming, and Community Like No Other
Game & Geek Expo 2025 brought the ultimate fan experience to life with two unforgettable days at the Raleigh Convention Center. With over 130,000 square feet packed to the brim, we transformed the venue into a high-energy playground for gamers, collectors, cosplayers, and fans of all things geeky.
🎮 All Things Gaming — Under One Roof
From retro classics to cutting-edge tech, the Expo offered something for every kind of gamer. Attendees got hands-on with vintage arcade cabinets, nostalgic NES and SEGA setups, modern consoles, immersive VR zones, and competitive PC rigs. We also brought the heat with pinball machines, tabletop showdowns, and massive TCG battles throughout the weekend.
🌟 Celebrity Guests & Industry Pros
This year, we leveled up with an incredible lineup of special guests, including voice actors, content creators, and gaming legends. Panels were packed with industry insight from pros at Epic Games, Ubisoft, and other major studios, offering fans an exclusive peek behind the curtain of their favorite titles.
🎤 Main Stage Magic
The Main Stage stayed lit all weekend long with epic programming—from our high-energy After Dark Party on Saturday night to the Cosplay Runway, Retro Gaming Playthroughs, and Idol Fest performances. The crowd brought their A-game, and the energy was electric!
🛍️ The East Coast’s Ultimate Geek Marketplace
Over 140 vendors from across the East Coast and right here in NC created a massive marketplace full of rare finds, original artwork, gaming collectibles, vintage gear, handmade crafts, and so much more. Whether you were on the hunt for an elusive cartridge or the perfect piece of fandom merch, the Expo delivered.
💡 Panels, Demos & Live Shows
With multiple panel rooms running all weekend, fans soaked up knowledge on game design, streaming, cosplay building, anime trends, and insider Q&As. From voice acting masterclasses to Unreal Engine demos and game coding workshops, there was no shortage of inspiration.
✨ More Than a Con — A Community
Game & Geek Expo is more than just an event—it’s a celebration of creativity and shared passion. We’re proud to bring together fans, families, creators, and communities in one incredible space where everyone can be themselves and dive deep into what they love.
