About the event

MomoCon 2024 will take place Friday May 24th - Monday May 27th at the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) in Downtown Atlanta Georgia. Focused on animation, gaming, and comics we expect more than 52,000 unique attendance for our 18th year.

About the application

MomoCon 2024 will take place Friday May 24th to Monday May 27th where over 50,000 unique attendance is expected. The MomoCon 2024 Exhibit Hall is situated in Hall C1-C3 at the GWCC. Each standard booth measures 10ft x 10ft and comes equipped with a 6ft x 2ft table, 2 chairs, a wastebasket, and 4 exhibitor badges. These badges not only grant early access to the Exhibit Hall but also provide full access to the main MomoCon events. 
 
The Indie Game booth represents a special discount over our standard booths. Situated at the primary entrance and exit of the Exhibit Hall, these booths promise heightened visibility. Notably:
  • Every booth in this section boasts at least one corner location.
  • Booths include access to 5 amps power, and wifi which are normally an additional cost.
Eligibility Criteria for Indie Gaming Space:
  • Must be primarily promoting a video game, or tabletop game.
  • Any sales at the booth must be related to the game.
  • To qualify as an indie game you cannot be financially supported by a large publisher (e.g. Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft). However these groups can apply as Industry.
Pricing Structure:
  • The rate for Indie Game booth spaces in the Exhibit Hall is $750 per 10 x 10. This is exclusive of Eventeny fees.
Placement Note: Booth positioning will be prioritized in part by the timing of your application. Thus, earlier applicants, especially those with larger booths, will benefit from better placement and enhanced visibility.
