DesignerCon — DCON to regulars — is the annual meetup for the art-toy, streetwear, and collectibles world, and the 2026 edition runs November 13–15 at its new Las Vegas home, The Expo at World Market Center. After years at the Anaheim Convention Center, DCON makes its move to Vegas, and it's bringing the whole scene with it.
If you've been to ComplexCon, this is its slightly more art-forward cousin. Hundreds of exhibitors fill the floor — independent artists, designer-toy makers, apparel brands, sculptors, illustrators, and blind-box drops — alongside gallery shows, live painting, panels, and exclusive releases you can only cop on-site. It's part expo, part treasure hunt: the whole point is finding the piece or the drop before it's gone.
For the tastemaker, streetwear-literate crowd that overlaps hard with cannabis culture, DCON is a calendar staple. The people building the aesthetics — the artists, the brand founders, the collectors — are all in one building for three days, and the energy is more creative community than trade show. It's the kind of room where a small artist's booth turns into next year's sold-out brand.
Passes run through DCON's official site, with single-day and three-day options. The move to Vegas means hotel and flight logistics replace the SoCal drive-in, but the Strip-adjacent venue puts lodging, food, and after-hours options within walking distance.

If you are already out for the Vegas winter run, MJ Biz Con follows on December 1.
