FAQs
What's the Expo about?
For eight years, the Atlanta Sci-Fi and Fantasy Expo has celebrated pop-culture creators with a family-friendly event. Artists, writers, actors, game designers, animators, modelers, cosplayers, and fans will gather to share their craft, instruct, and inspire others to explore their own fannish interests. The two-day event features panels, workshops, gaming tournaments, live entertainment, and a Dealer’s Hall. This event is free and open to the public!
Is this event really free? How can it be free?
Yes! Except for our tournaments and some hands-on learning workshops, the event is completely free. The Expo is funded through the support of our sponsors, table sales in our Vendor Hall and Artist’s Alley, and community donations.
Why don't you charge?
The showrunners are lifelong fans of all things geeky and wanted to provide an opportunity for the community to experience a full-scale fan event without some of the usual expenses. Currently, we can sustain the event without charging a general admission fee.
Is this the same event that used to be held at North DeKalb Mall?
Yes. During the pandemic, North DeKalb was closed and sold to a developer. We have partnered with Northlake Mall, just two exits up on I-285, as our new mall venue partner.
