Billed as a playground to create and collaborate for creative professionals, Tremendicon, coming to Springfield in July, has added dozens of guests to their lineup. The focus of the event is on Education, Inspiration, Encouragement, Collaboration, and Charity.
Tremendicon is a nonprofit, donating 80% of profits to Ozarks Food Harvest, and the remainder going back to creators wishing to pursue a career in the creative arts. The event promises all of the guests, activities, gaming, shopping, excitement, and fun that fans have come to expect from a science fiction, fantasy, and comic book convention but also promises a different spin on the “standard” convention.
Among dozens of guests in attendance at the convention will be John Hornor Jacobs (author of Southern
Gods); Shane Hensley (creator of the Deadlands role-playing game); Cullen Bunn (writer of Harrow
County and The Empty Man); award winning cinematographer David Watson; Jenbom, Klingon Pop
Warrior and consultant on Start Trek’s Prodigy; and many more guests on the list from Game, Film, Art,
Comic Industries.
“The Tremendicon guest list has grown into an epic list of professional creators,” said Tremendicon President David Stanfield. “From award winning authors like, John Hornor Jacobs, and Cullen Bunn to game designers like Shane Hensley, who created the Deadlands role-playing game, the knowledge and ability that attendees will have access to can be a pathway to a new hobby or new career. We want Tremendicon to be a possible first step into a more rewarding life.”
Creative tracks being explored this year include Artists, Writers, Game Design, Cosplay, Comic Books, Multimedia, Makers, and Kids’ Programming. There will be many activities for every track throughout the weekend. Track content will include panels, seminars, workshops, readings, demonstrations, and much more.
“All the tracks have so much good content for attendees with workshops, demonstrations and panels that are going to be valuable to those that attend,” said Stanfield. “But we didn't stop there. We have Trivia, Cosplay Masquerade, Gaming Room, Movie Rooms, and Tremendiprom on Saturday night. You don't want to miss any of it.
The second annual Tremendicon will be held on July 7-9th, 2023, at the Oasis Hotel and Convention Center.
