DesignerCon (DCon), the art, design, and collectibles mega-show, announced it will depart Anaheim, CA, and make a new home in Las Vegas, Nevada for its upcoming 19th annual convention, taking place November 15-17, 2024.
DCon 2024 will be held at The Expo at World Market Center (WMC) in Las Vegas for the first time, embracing the brand’s artist-first ethos to celebrate collectible toys, customs, and designer apparel as well as the latest in urban, underground, and pop art design. The 2024 convention plans to welcome hundreds of global vendors, artists, and designers and will feature a diverse array of products as well as expanded programming, including an exclusive DCon after-party in Las Vegas.
In special collaboration this year, MEDICOM TOY will unveil an exclusive Keith Haring x Coca-Cola BE@RBRICK at the event to honor the artist’s lasting legacy and work. Alongside MEDICOM TOY, fan-favorites Good Smile Company, How2Work, and others are already confirmed to return to DCon this year, with Erostika, home of Rockin’ Jelly Bean, to make its first-ever DesignerCon appearance. Acclaimed artist Kasing Lung will also make his first-ever United States appearance and signing, presenting exclusive products at the show. Good Smile will also unveil a redesigned DCon mascot featuring their signature HELLO character style. Tickets for DesignerCon 2024 will go on sale this summer.
