“I had an amazing time at MegaCon 2026 in Orlando, held at the Orange County Convention Center. The venue was spacious, clean, and very well organized, which made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was incredible—so much energy, great people, and so many cool things to see and do. The staff was friendly and helpful, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. One of the highlights for me was getting the chance to meet Snarky Jay—she wa…”
“If you’re heading here for a trade show, buckle up this place is a beehive of activity! I’ve attended shows here before and even exhibited with a booth, and this visit reminded me just how massive and well-run this convention center really is.

It took us nearly an hour t…”

Better if at other local area hotels, unless it's a bunch of adults who like to smoke and drink, then yo…”

So busy busy, but they handled it pretty well!”

The AC was nice and cold, which made walking around the massive convention really comfortable. Parking wasn’t as plentiful as I hoped, but there are plenty of neighboring hotels if you’re staying nearby, and a number of stores and restaurants are easily walkable from the convention, which is super c…”
