GeekGirlCon Basics

Every year at our annual convention, GeekGirlCon sets up an inclusive environment at the heart of downtown Seattle. Together, we celebrate and honor the legacies of under-represented groups in science, technology, comics, arts, literature, game play, and game design.

While we are excited and look forward to holding GeekGirlCon ’24 in-person once again, to help us gather in-person safely, GeekGirlCon will be a fully-masked event.

GeekGirlCon takes place at Arch at 800 Pike at Seattle Conference Center (formerly Washington State Convention Center), located at 8th and Pike in downtown Seattle, WA.

We want to make sure that GeekGirlCon is a great experience filled with excitement, education, and fun for all. We strive to create an event that works for every attendee—we think inclusively about the range of our attendees needs, employ the best practices to continually review our spaces, improve as we are able, and learn from our mistakes.

All public areas, lobbies, exhibit halls, and meeting rooms within the SCC are ADA accessible. You can read more about the features and resources that will be available over the weekend—it’s extremely important to us that GeekGirlCon is a safe and comfortable environment for everyone!

Each year our programming content is a mix of community-organized submissions and staff-curated content, including content featuring industry guests. Look for panels on a variety of topics, as well as workshops to get hands-on.

Who doesn’t love a little bit of shopping? We definitely do, and we’re beyond for you to see all of the goodies that our exhibitors will be bringing to this year’s convention.

Every exhibitor at GeekGirlCon is hand-selected—from artists to artisans, shop a variety of hand-crafted wares and the like. From t-shirts and fashionable accessories, to art prints and stickers, there’s bound to be a little something for every geek.

Calling all rogues, bards, warlocks—prepare your favorite dice and pack your controllers, the gaming floor at GeekGirlCon is expanding and bigger than ever before! This year, we’ll be hosting two rooms filled to the brim with your favorite games. To optimize your gaming experience, we’ll have one room dedicated to tabletop and one specifically for video games.

Each year, our gaming team works hard to bring you the joy and discovery of storytelling, role-playing, worldbuilding, strategizing, and exploration.

Connect with your fellow geeks and bond over your favorite franchises—we’ll be hosting a variety of meetups for every fan throughout the weekend.

This year we’ll also be introducing the Meetup Café, a fun hangout where you can find more tables to chat, a selfie station, and grab a snack!

Visit the DIY Science Zone, where our highly-trained team of scientists and science educators will guide you through a selection of fun experiments and answer all your questions about their scientific specialty. Thanks to all our DIY Science Zone donors that make doing experiments at GeekGirlCon possible! Consider supporting all of the hands-on science we have planned for 2024.

GeekGirlCon is the place to shine in your geek finest.
