#1 Blerdcon 2020
Blerdcon 2020 comes out at #1 which should be no surprise at all. Blerdcon 2020 is being held at the Hyatt Crystal City in Arlington, VA (basically DC). At Blerdcon you can expect to see plenty of blerds in cosplay, fantastic gaming, music, and food venues. There are gaming tournaments, anime screenings and lots of informational panels as well.

Dragoncon 2020 comes in at #2 which is also no surprise as Dragoncon is based in Atlanta, a major homebase of blerds. Dragoncon was featured by BET last year, showing that blerd culture is spreading and the monolithic viewpoints and stereotypes of being black are breaking down. Dragoncon is filled with gamers, artists, cosplayers, sci-fi and anime lovers like you. This is a larger convention, so make sure to plan appropriately to not get overwhelmed.
Membership prices range from $105to $140 depending on time of purchase (earlier planning gets you a better rate). There is even an option for an Eternal Membership which grants you access to every Dragoncon forever and a few other exclusive perks. Dragoncon 2020 starts on Thursday September 3rd, 2020 and ends on Monday September 7th, 2020.
