3. Game to Your Heart’s Content

But hey, if you’re the kind of person that’s more into board games, you and your friends are welcome to have a blast playing many different fun group board and card games.
4. Cosplay
If you’re ever feeling hesitant or a bit anxious about cosplaying, just know that in Bahrain Comic Con, you’re not only welcome to go for it, but will be celebrated for doing so. If there’s ever a chance to dress up as your favorite character, this is your time to do it. Make new memories and find so many people who will gravitate towards you because of that choice. And imagine all the cool pictures you can take and keep in your memory box!
As a quick tip for any cosplayers – since you’ll be taking & sharing a lot of pictures with newly met people, opt for an instant camera and print those pictures instantly to share right then & there! It would be such a warm gesture to give and keep instant photos and everyone can go home with a tangible memory!
5. Celebrity Panels
Make sure to bring your favourite comic book or a piece of paper, because you can get the chance to meet celebrities from many different popular shows and movies, and even snag a quick autograph!
Imagine you meet the voice actor who voiced your favourite One Piece character nearby & get a poster signed by them! If this is something you don’t want to miss out on, it’s worth peeking at the convention’s website before scoring a ticket. Scope out which celebrities and creators are hitting the show. And if any names don’t ring a bell, a quick Google search can reveal their impressive body of work. Who knows? You might end up bumping into the person who starred in all your nostalgic childhood shows and not even realize it!
Conventions aren’t just art shows. They aren’t just pop-culture shows. They are a chance and a safe haven for fandoms to gather and celebrate what they’re passionate about.
This is all of our chances to learn and get inspired by each other. At Comic Con, there’s an entire community of professionals & creators who craft and have amazing experiences to share. They’re eager to share their process, their journey, and their insights. Simply approaching an artist whose work, you admire and asking them questions can not only give you valuable insight, but also make them feel appreciated as well.
