Hasbro takes wraps off HASCON event

New fan and family convention will take place in the US in September 2017.

Hasbro has revealed plans to create the first ever HASCON fan and family convention, bringing all its brands under one roof for three days in the US next year.

The event – which will be held in Providence at the Rhode Island Convention Center and Dunkin Donuts Center – will run from September 8-10, 2017.

The aim is to create a celebration of Hasbro’s characters and stories, with the event including live interactive experiences, exclusive products, talent appearance, panel sessions and more.

Properties on show will include Transformers, My Little Pony, Nerf, Magic The Gathering, Play-Doh, Monopoly and GI Joe among others – all reimagined through stage performances and other unique opportunities for fans to engage with them.

Visitors will also have the chance to see first look previews of Hasbro’s TV and movie series.

“Hasbro is home to many of the world’s most recognisable brands, each of them with their own group of passionate and engaged fans,” said John Frascotti, president of Hasbro Brands.

“HASCON will deliver an extraordinary peek behind the curtain of our brands, storytelling, and iconic characters while giving us the opportunity to invite fans and families to our hometown for the most memorable, unified Hasbro experience ever.”

Keep an eye on the official website – www.hascon.hasbro.com – for more details.
