A Quick Peek at Week 2
All of our comic book fans have plenty to look forward to during the second weekend of GeekGirlCONLINE. Join us on October 10 and 11 for even more activities and interactive fun!
From the GeekGirlCon staff to you, we thank you for your patience and resilience during these trying times. As always, your support means the world to us—without it, we wouldn’t be nearly as successful as we are today. We’re honored to have a community of dedicated, passionate geeks by our side, and we hope you enjoy what we’ve put together for you. We’re also hopeful that we’ll reunite this time next year to officially celebrate GeekGirlCon’s 10th anniversary in the heart of downtown Seattle. Until then, we’ll meet a little closer to home. Together, we will get through this.
There’s plenty more to look forward to, so follow along on social, and we’ll see you online!
