Welcome back one and all, it’s a new year and that means ConBravo! is on the horizon!
Our hard-working code monkeys and designers have put together a brand new website to showcase all the goodies we’ve got coming in the next few months! Gaming, anime, comics, and all those wonderful guests and panels, events and shows — can’t hardly wait!
Attendees, vendors, artists, and everyone, really, should probably mark down the following dates:
Earlybird Pre-Registration
$20 weekend passes will be available for pre-reg March 1st-30th.
Regular Pre-Registration
$25 weekend passes will be available for pre-reg April 1st-June 30th

We’d like to take a moment to remind everyone that if you want to come say hi, we’ll be at several conventions in the Promotional Tables sections in the upcoming months:
G-Anime / January 27-29th / Gatineau, ON – One of the best weekends you’ll ever spend in Quebec!
Con-G / February 25-26th / Guelph, ON – The fourth season returns to Guelph! Come celebrate anime and geekery with the rest of us!
Ad Astra / April 13-15th / Markham, ON – The very best in sci-fi literature appears just north of Toronto!
Anime North / May 25-27th / Toronto, ON – The largest gathering of anime fans in the Great White North!
You will also be able to pre-register at our promo tables at Ad Astra and Anime North!
As most of you now know, ConBravo! 2011 was a huge success. Not only did 1200+ of you come out to celebrate geekdom, you were an immense part of making our guests feel welcome, our staff appreciated, and our events a riot and a half. A convention is nothing without its attendees, and we’d like to invite all of you for our third year.
So here’s our plan.
We’re considering a third day. Maybe, if you guys really feel we should have one. Please make your voice heard, either through our Forums, Facebook, or on Twitter. E-mail us, snail mail us; definitely make yourself heard.
That said, we definitely are coming back for two days. The Burlington Hotel and Conference Centre (formerly the Burlington Holiday Inn) will play host to ConBravo! 2012 on July 28-29th 2012. We’ll be going into our pre-production meeting as of next month, so expect more details to emerge as we head into Autumn. We’re going to amp up our guests and our events, so stay tuned!
The venerable Shaggyshan of Talking to the Camera fame has also posted our interview with him via podcast on his show, Talking to the Micromaphone! Vito, the head of gaming, Heather, the head of artist and exhibitor relations, Kelsey, the head of panels, and our chairman Mark were all on hand to give some details.
Hey ladies and gents, for all you indie-savvy folks, we’ve got some love for the venerable ShaggyShan. He recently gave us a shout-out on his show on YouTube and we’re totally stoked that he’s stoked about ConBravo!. If you’re interested, check out ShaggyShan’s video here, and don’t forget to subscribe.
Now, Shaggy did get one small detail wrong. As you know on this site, pre-registration ends on June 30th, not the 20th, but we’ll forgive him. Shaggy’s just that awesome.
