About the application

Game & Geek Expo 2026 is one of the Southeast's fastest growing gaming and pop culture conventions and we want YOU in the room. In our very FIRST year we welcomed nearly 3,000 passionate fans through the doors and this year we are going even bigger. Sponsoring GGE means putting your brand directly in front of thousands of highly engaged gamers, collectors, cosplayers, and pop culture enthusiasts for two full days at the state of the art Raleigh Convention Center. We offer flexible sponsorship packages built around your goals and your budget. Whether you want your name on a high traffic zone, your logo on attendee badges and signage, a presence in our digital content and marketing campaigns, or a fully integrated partnership woven into our guest appearances and programming — we will build something that works for you. There is no one size fits all here. We are all about creating partnerships that actually move the needle for your brand. ? See our attached collab pack for full details on the show, our audience, and what we can offer. Ready to get in the room? Let's talk!
