Mischief Management CEO tells us about the return of Con of Thrones!

Great news, everyone: Con of Thrones is coming back! Put on by Mischief Management, Con of Thrones is the premiere unofficial Game of Thrones fan convention, where fans of everything Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire and now House of the Dragon gather to meet stars from the show(s), attend panels, debut amazing cosplay, sing, dance and generally nerd out!

I went to the first three Con of Thrones events before the convention took a pandemic-mandated break, so I’m thrilled to hear that it’s returning this year. Ahead of that glorious event, I was able to talk to Mischief Management CEO Melissa Anelli about what’s in store!

Watch our conversation below:

How is Con of Thrones different from the Official Game of Thrones Fan Convention?

Some of the topics we hit:

• Why Con of Thrones is coming back after its three-year absence
• How the focus on the fans sets Con of Thrones apart from the (still great) Official Game of Thrones Fan Convention put on by HBO
• What kind of guests, panels and parties fans can expect
• Why being an event planner is one of the most stressful jobs on Earth

Thanks very much to Melissa for taking the time to talk to us!
