Steel City Con - December 5th, 6th, & 7th!

With the holidays fast approaching, that means Pittsburgh's Steel City Con returns in just under 2 weeks, December 5th, 6th, & 7th! The December show is the biggest of the year, and the guest list is better than ever! Read on for all the details you need to attend!



Guests from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Wars are making rare appearances, including Peter Mayhew, fresh off wrapping filming of Star Wars: Episode VII! The show is bigger and better than ever, and continues to grow. You won't want to miss what is sure to be the biggest show yet!

With the show's expanded size, you'll want to order a 3-Day Badge as well! Pre-orders receive priority seating at events, such as the Celebrity Q&A's, Charity Auction, and more! It's a value, you just cannot beat.

The show's increased size means increased events as well. It's expanded to now include Costume Contests, an expanded Celebrity Hall, Artist Alley, Collectibles Sales Floor, Photo Ops and more! This WILL BE the biggest Steel City Con to date.

Pittsburgh's Steel City Con returns December 6th, 7th, & 8th to the Monroeville Convention Center, which is conveniently located minutes from Downtown Pittsburgh and just off the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Hotel space next to the convention center is limited, so act fast, but other hotels are available very close by.

Expanded Show Floor & Events

The show now sports over 100,000 sq.ft. of show space, bringing you everything you expect from not just a toy show, but a true con experience! This is a Mega Con, and growing every year!

New events during the show include a Charity Auction, Artist Alley, Celebrity Q&A Panels, Collecting Panels, Costume Contests, Photo Ops, and more!

Extended Show Hours & 3-Day Badge Pre-Orders

The fun goes on into the evening now at Steel City Con with extended show hours! And if you Pre-Order Your Three-Day Badge you can get into the show early all 3 days, and trust me you'll want to avoid the admission lines if you can!

The show's hotel block expires soon as well, so don't delay and book your room soon at the Doubletree by Hilton right away!
