Genre conventions offer the perfect opportunity to introduce new viewers to "Legend of the Seeker." And in 2012, we doubled the efforts with fan tables, panels, costume parades, and more.
Below are the activities we're planning at some of the conventions. Please contact us if you'd like to organize a fan table or other activities, and to borrow the 'Traveling Legend of the Seeker Banner Stand' we've created for the fan tables. You can also refer to the convention wiki for ideas, how-to's, templates, costume replicas, screenings and the most complete calendar.
