Gamers and pop culture enthusiasts in northern B.C. got its first taste of what could be a yearly event for Prince George.
The first Video Games Prince George Expo was held at the at the House of Ancestors last weekend which had panels, vendors, a video game music cover band, and the Mythic 2.0 e-sport event.
Co-Organizer Kelsy Polnik said it was great to see everyone experience the new expo.
“It was super fun, I think nobody knew what to expect. It was just awesome to watch people walk through the door, because they saw the whole venue just filled with gaming goodness.”
“I think my favourite part was just watching people come in and take in visually everything that was going on.”
Polnik said throughout the weekend they were taking in feedback, including from vendors, and making changes and testing throughout the event.
He added that there are still lots of ideas for a potential next event, and might look at getting a larger space.
Polnik noted that there haven’t been discussions on if they will continue the event, but everyone involved had a great time, and he hopes they can do it again next year.
