Silicon Valley Comic Con 2017 Recap

Silicon Valley Comic Con 2017 was bigger and better this year! The show expanded into other buildings and areas around the San Jose Convention Center on April 21-23. SVCC is now the largest Comic-Con show in Northern California. What makes SVCC different than other shows is that they merge Technology & Science with Pop Culture. So, even though you're enjoying coplayers, picking up that collectible etc... you can also go there to learn. This is a great show for families. This year they had a Science Fair, a Kids STEAM Lab and NASA had a huge presence inside the exhibit hall with massive planets hanging over their booth and even get your picture taken inside an astronaut's spacesuit.
