In anticipation of the upcoming new HBO series House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment and Creation Entertainment have partnered to bring the ultimate Game of Thrones Official Fan Convention, the first officially licensed fan convention commemorating HBO’s iconic and world-renowned series Game of Thrones, to the Rio Hotel & Suites Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 18-20, 2022.
Fans of the franchise can expect an action-packed experience with three days of programming featuring special guests, panel discussions, cosplay and trivia competitions, autograph signing sessions, photo opportunities, sales of exclusive Game of Thrones merchandise and more. The full convention schedule along with ticket pricing and on-sale dates will be announced in the coming months.
