Northwest Blerd Convention

Where fandom meets culture. Where community takes center stage.

The Northwest Blerd Convention isn’t just about celebrating fandoms.

It’s about celebrating Black people in fandoms. The stories we carry, the worlds we build, and the creativity that lives at the intersection of anime, gaming, comics, and nostalgia.

This is a space for the ones who grew up on Toonami, late-night manga reads, convention dreams, and group chats that turned into community.

What to Expect

• 🎤 Panels and conversations exploring fandom, identity, and culture
• 🎨 Artist Promenade featuring independent creators, illustrators, and makers
• 🎮 Interactive experiences, games, and nostalgic activations
• 🧠 Workshops and discussions designed for connection, creativity, and growth
• Uno, Spades & Dominoes Tournaments!
