Emerald City Photos from the 2015 Convention
This past March 27th-29th, we attended our first Emerald City Comicon. Nerd For A Living is no stranger to Seattle, and we’re quite accustomed to heavily attended conventions. But this still didn’t prepare us for the scale of Emerald City.
With an estimated attendance of 80,000 con-goers, ECCC packed the Washington State Convention Center. Seattle’s downtown was swarmed with people wearing their distinctive convention badges, with the expected colorful array of cosplayers filing in the doors and taking up positions at numerous designated photo op areas.
Check out our Emerald City photos from the event below, including our “How to be Nerd for a Living: Careers in Nerd Culture” panel. You can read our full recap of the event here.
