The first Ice & Fire Con took place in April 2013 at Ravenwood Castle in New Plymouth, Ohio, and 2019 marked our SEVENTH annual convention! We were the first ever US-based Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones convention, and our success is mostly thanks to a very high percentage of return attendees.
Beach City Con was the first ever Steven Universe-themed convention. It was held at the Virginia Beach Hotel and Conference Center in October 2017 and 2018. Our Kickstarter campaign for Beach City Con 2017 was extremely successful, raising over three times our goal amount, which allowed us to put together stellar programming similar to that of Ice & Fire Con, to book several guests, and to hold the convention two years in a row.
Not-a-Cons
Since the fall of 2013 Saga Event Planning’s CEO Tara has planned a succession of geeky-themed vacations (including a Pirate-themed weekend, one centered around the Harry Potter series, and even Star Wars). These “Not-a-Cons” have taken place at the aforementioned Ravenwood Castle, a ski resort, and even Las Vegas, and involved group travel coordination, fun photoshoots, themed gaming sessions, and more!
