Following the success of the TCG Event in June, HypeCon has announced a September 2024 event in Santa Clara.

HypeCon September 2024 will take place on Saturday, September 28th. In a radical departure from past events, this one will be hosted at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The event will focus on trading cards, anime/manga, sneakers, K-Pop merchandise, collectible toys, and more. Vendors will also be available to purchase your unwanted collectibles on the spot for cash. There will also be an artist’s alley, game tournaments, and special guests.

At the moment, no guests have been announced but that will change in the future.

Tickets for the event are now on sale starting at $10 for the standard pass or $40 for VIP passes. Ticket prices will rise the closer it gets to the day of HypeCon. Anyone planning on being a vendor has until September 26th to sign up for a spot.

HypeCon is a one-day event that brings together vendors of the hypest merchandise and voice performers from the most popular anime. The event features a variety of vendors along with performers and more for a festive event.
