Atlantic City Boardwalk Con to Debut in 2015

The Atlantic City Boardwalk Con will take place May 14-17 2015. Yeah 2015, not this year as they are still planning and prepping for their debut show next year. The show will take place at the Atlantic City Convention Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Some info below from their press release. 
Some ACBC show attributes include:
  • The 30,000 square foot ACBC Cosplay Ballroom Party is the ultimate Cosplayers' Party.  Realistic, panoramic backdrops for walk-up photos, celebrity Cosplayer Hosts, pop-up performances and more are just some of the happenings at the ACBC Cosplay Ballroom Party. 
  • The ACBC UnMasked Experience is a first-come/first-served experience where celebrity guests kick back and enjoy a more intimate experience with the fans. 
  • The ACBC High Rollers Lounge is one of the more exclusive experiences at the con.  Membership includes cocktails with celebrities in a laid back and interactive environment.  Membership is extended to only 200 attendees. 
  • Keep an eye on the ACBC Spotlight Stages where pop-up experiences from Exhibitors, Vendors, Celebrities, and Industry Professionals take place when you least expect it.
  • Enroll in classes taught by industry leaders in the ACBC School for Fans. The more classes you attend, the more Con-Creds you earn.  The more Con-Creds you earn, the better your ACBC Graduation Gift will be! 
  • The ACBC Emerging-Creator Program allows up-and-coming creators (writers, artists, developers and programmers) to have a chance of one-on-one meetings with comics and video gaming publishers and industry leaders in 15-minute segments.   This unique opportunity allows the participant to have their work reviewed in front of them, while getting direct feedback on their work. 
  • Meet your favorite Artists in the ACBC ArtPod Experience! ArtPods position artists and their work in a gallery setting right in the midst of the Show Floor.
  • Cosplayers rejoice!  Private changing rooms offer more space than a phone booth and a secret lair to kick your boots off.  Emergency Repair Stations, equipped with the essentials a Cosplayer could need: sewing machines, materials, painting areas, etc. are available right in the convention center.  Become a member of the ACBC Secret Identity League and get full access during show hours.  
ACBC is keeping a few cards close to their vest, especially when it comes to the hotly anticipated Grand Marshals of the ACBC Midnight Masquerade Parade down the famous AC Boardwalk!
