GeekGirlCon 2017 Media Roundup
GeekGirl 2017 has come and gone. It was a weekend of laugher, tears, a pinch of nostalgia, and an enormous amount of fun. As I’ve spent the last week recuperating, I’ve seen an influx online of happy memories, pictures, articles, and thoughts about the weekend. Words of wisdom caught during panels, big smiles after seeing a particularly great cosplay, and shared pride over the community that we’ve built together, we’re all going through a bit of emotional catharsis.
Here are but a few of our favorite moments from the weekend on Twitter and Instagram, recaps and articles on blogs and in the news:

My heart is soaring. My confidence is strong. I feel like I did after watching Wonder Woman and Mad Mad Fury Road. Thank you #GGC17 Day 1. pic.twitter.com/Y12xfztwcr
