Hascon To Skip 2018, Will Return In 2019

Hascon, a celebration of all things Hasbro, will skip 2018 and head straight to 2019.

Hascon is Hasbro's attempt to create a con all their own to showcase their brands like Transformers, My Little Pony, and more. The show is also more focused on a family atmosphere, featuring many interactive zones and programming for all ages. It was well attended, and with more lead time, it could turn into a pretty cool show.

Well, they have the lead time now. Really, they have almost two years to plan the next one. The 2019 version of Hascon will be September 6th-8th in Rhode Island again, where Hasbro HQ is located. Right across the street, actually.

Second-Ever HASCON FANmily Event Scheduled for Sept. 6 – 8, 2019 in Providence, R.I.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS) today announced that it will host its second-ever HASCON event Sept. 6 – 8, 2019, in Providence, R.I. at the Rhode Island Convention Center and Dunkin' Donuts Center.

 

Hasbro hosted its inaugural HASCON event this past September, offering families and fans of all ages a completely new way to experience its brands, and a behind-the-scenes pass to the world of Hasbro. The event featured three days of hands-on brand experiences, meet-and-greets, sneak peeks, concerts, exclusive reveals, star-studded panels and fan-centric surprises.

 

"We couldn't be happier with the feedback we've received from our inaugural event," said John Frascotti, president, Hasbro, Inc. "We're looking forward to once again delivering immersive entertainment experiences around our brands for fans and families in 2019."

 

The 2017 event featured dozens of meet-and-greet opportunities with celebrities, athletes and influencers, including Mark Wahlberg, Stan Lee, David Ortiz, James White, Dude Perfect, Maddie Ziegler, James Gunn, Zach King, Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, and Isabela Moner, among others. Concerts by Flo Rida and Daya were included with the purchase of a general admission HASCON ticket. Guests were also invited to audition for a Hasbro video, and to select a toy or game to donate to the Marine Toys for Tots for children impacted by recent hurricanes.

 

More details about the 2019 HASCON event, including information about ticket packages, will be posted on http://hascon.hasbro.com.
