Oz Comic-Con Sydney returns
Calling all Sydney geeks…Oz Comic-Con, Australia’s premier pop-culture expo, explodes to life at the Sydney Exhibition Centre, Glebe Island, this September 10–11.
There’s no better place to spend the weekend as the Sydney Exhibition Centre gets taken over by all things gloriously geeky, collectible and cool.
There’s knockout headlining stars including Daniel Portman (Game of Thrones), Mitch Pileggi (X-Files, Stargate: Atlantis), Maggie Roswell (The Simpsons: Maude Flanders) and Joe Flannigan (Stargate:Atlantis) to name a few. There are guests for fans of every genre, with each taking part in professional photograph and autograph opportunities across the weekend, as well as exclusive question and answer panels.
However, Oz Comic-Con isn’t just about the celebrity guests. There’s everything a pop culture die-hard could ever wish for…awesome activities, fantastic special features and unique retailers selling must-have geeky goodies.
