CaliCON 2022 Highlights
On Oct. 29th 2022, Calimacil’s CaliCON welcomed guests once more. Held at Calimacil’s workshop in Sherbrooke, it featured several local manufacturers of handmade goods, local organisations and businesses relevant to immersive games and the use of foam weapons, fantastic costumes and products from big names such as Calimacil, Epic Armoury and Mytholon.
What's CaliCON?
The CaliCON is a LARP convention organized and hosted by Calimacil that showcases craftspeople, community leaders and creators that contribute enhancing LARP games and immersive experiences. It aims to bring together the LARP community, attract new faces to this enchanting universe and create networking opportunities.
Initially built to cultivate deeper relationships with and between Calimacil’s partners, it has since evolved and its doors are now open to all. Now, attendees get the chance to step behind the curtain and explore behind the LARPing scenes, getting to meet organizations and businesses that help breathe life into the hobby.
