Military Con Plans Two-City 2027 Debut

Military Con, a new convention celebrating military service, culture and stories, will debut June 4–6, 2027, at San Antonio’s Henry B. González Convention Center, then run September 4–6 in San Diego. Produced by Two Dice Media, the roughly 300,000-square-foot event is planned for service members, veterans, military families and the public, with immersive experiences inspired by military history and real-world operations, equipment displays, live demonstrations, gaming competitions, speakers and veteran-owned businesses. Its three-day program will trace a service member’s journey from the call to serve, through mission preparation and service, to returning home. Organizers say a military advisory board is helping shape the experience for authenticity, and they hope to grow Military Con into a year-round offering; its military director has described the event as a way to honor service members and their families, not as a political project.
