Fan conventions are events where enthusiasts gather to celebrate their favorite aspects of pop culture, such as movies, television shows, comic books, and video games. These conventions often feature panels, workshops, and discussions led by creators, actors, and industry professionals. Attendees can also participate in cosplay, where they dress up as their favorite characters, and shop for merchandise related to their interests. In addition to panels and cosplay, fan conventions often include artist alleys and vendor halls, where independent creators and businesses sell their work. Popular conventions, like Comic-Con and Dragon Con, attract thousands of fans from around the world, creating a vibrant community atmosphere.
