Minnesota’s Best Gold Winner

We are incredibly honored to be voted as Minnesota’s Best Arts and Culture Event for 2025. We are proud to be featured next to so many well respected and established businesses in the state.

We started as a small gaming event with a negative budget and a lot of roadblocks. Through hard work, dedication, and a focus on people over profits and promoting gaming in all forms, what was once a small esports event has turned into something so much bigger. The largest gaming event in the state, a gaming entertainment service, a year round venue, but most importantly a vibrant and inclusive community of fun loving individuals who share a love for their fellow gamers and have a passion for the gaming industry.

This award is nothing without the people who made it possible. Thank you to everyone who has ever attended a 2D Con event. Thank you to our sponsors that help us keep our events affordable. Thank you to our fully volunteer based staff. Thank you to all of the other events that care about their communities. You are 2D Con, and this award is for you.

2D Con is a 100% volunteer based non-profit organization. Every proceed goes directly back into our events to keep them high quality and affordable. We have a strong belief that events should be naturally inclusive and affordable. If you share our belief please consider donating to our cause and letting us know what 2D Con means to you.
