A Recap of Dream Con 2022

Dream Con 2022 went crazy with over 6,000 attendees! The 3-day event, held at the Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas, saw people from all over the world coming together through their love of the culture. Each day was filled with cosplay, exhibitors, panels, games, and more. Creators battled for the Ultimate Dodgeball Trophy and $100k in charity donations, the All-Star Smash Championship Belt, and bragging rights. Strangers became friends, and friends became family. Dreams really came true at Dream Con 2022. Stay tuned for 2023 because it’s only going up from here!
