Dork. Nerd. Geek. These words used to be insults until we embraced them. From anime to video games, science fiction to Dungeons & Dragons, and mainstream comic book movies, this is truly the age of the geek.

Come celebrate your geekiness with us at Capricon 45, hosted at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk from February 6-9, 2025.
