January 17, 2017 Trae Dorn 3 Comments Hi folks, I don’t like coming to you with bad news, but there’s not really any way to beat around the bush on this one. It’s with a lot of disappointment that we have to announce that there will be no 2017 Nerd & Tie Expo. We had a great time in 2016, and while attendance was lower than we hoped, we felt the con was a big success honestly. We expected the first year con to lose money, so that wasn’t really a problem. Unfortunately, with the loss of the Plaza Hotel as a possible venue and the ongoing lawsuit brought by AnimeCon.org CEO Ryan Kopf against us , we had to look at a lot of hard realities. The fact is, we just don’t have the budget to put on another show in any of the available venues where we’d have any chance of breaking even. Either we’d have to limit our size too much in what we could offer, or the price was too high. We just don’t feel confident we could deliver an experience close to what we gave you the first time around. And that sucks. In the next week we’ll finally get around to posting the long promised official photos from the Nerd & Tie Expo. Hopefully, once the dust has settled (and we’re not forking out all available cash to our lawyer) we can bring back this amazing event. We love you, and we hope to see you again. 2017 Thanks to Everyone Who Came Out! September 27, 2016 Trae Dorn Leave a comment We had an amazing time this weekend at the first Nerd & Tie Expo, and we’re so glad you guys joined us! We want to thank each and every one of you who made our first convention such a success. We fully plan on coming back next year, though we’re still hunting down a new venue for 2017 (with the pending demolition of the Plaza). We’ll let you know when we’re coming back in this space, so be ready! 2016 The 2016 Nerd & Tie Expo Online Program Guide is Here!

September 7, 2016 Trae Dorn Leave a comment Did you know that if you’re willing to volunteer for the Nerd & Tie Expo, we’ll let you into the con for free ? It’s true! If you’re willing to just give us ten hours of your time, you get into the event for nothing . I also have it on good authority that volunteering with make you taller, faster, stronger, possibly more attractive to the gender of your choice, and feed your very soul. Of course, that last bit may just be a rumor. All you have to do to volunteer is head on over to our Volunteer Page on the website, download the application, and email it to us. That’s it! We look forward to hearing from you. 2016 Preregistration has closed September 3, 2016 Trae Dorn Leave a comment Hey folks, Preregistration has officially closed for the Nerd & Tie Expo.
