NERDBURGH REVIEW

The balance of the con is somewhat different for those used to things like Steel City Con and Pittsburgh Comicon. There are more artists, artisans and small press than there are more conventional dealers.

REPUBLIBOT REVIEW

Part of the fun is the spirit of camaraderie that develops when a few hundred weirdos get together to pretend they're someone (or something) they're not.

GEEK GIRL REVIEW

I had a complete blast at Sci-Fi Valley Con Part 2. There was a lot to do, and I met some great people, including The Geek Girl Project. For a local convention, it topped my expectations.

NIKKI PRYDE REVIEW

They had some nice attractions on the first floor, such as the DeLorean from Back to the Future, the Ghostbusters car, a Batmobile, and even a TARDIS and Jurassic Park Jeep!

Iseeuseeme Gagnon

Attended 2 years in a row. It’s awesome. After the show everyone met up at the bowling alley and a lot of the guests showed up and bowled with us. Scifi Valley Con is one of the only, and the best Con for anything scifi, horror, comic, or entertainment. Will be attending again this year and every year after. This thing went from a small single floor gathering to a pretty large convention. It’s well worth the visit and the tickets cost way less than the actual value of the event. KEEP IT UP!

Nick Mcknight

Tons of fun, great people of ages. Costumes are amazing. Must see and event for the entire weekend.

Terry Penna

Elizabeth Lukjanczuk

I went to the Second Con. Loved everything about it, from the vendors, to the guests, even the horror & sci fi fandoms. Even the performers. The wrestling wasn’t bad either. :p

Scott Allen Shiffler II

Such an awesome time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lots of awesome passionate cosplayers around!

Josh Curry

We really enjoyed the 2014 Sci-Fi Valley Con! Our only complaint is something they couldn’t really control, the heat upstairs. Other than that, it was a really awesome event! Looking forward to it next year and seeing how much more it grows in a bigger venue!!

Jason Johnson

Sci-Fi Valley Con is quickly growing and also growing to a position where it could soon be my absolute favorite con around!

Chrissy L Seaman

One of the most professionally run events in our genre. The staff is courteous, the event is friendly, and the terms are more than fair. I look forward to this event every year… the fans are awesome, and we love them.

Rusty Gilligan Artist

Have attended the past 2 years. What a great time. So much to see and do. Costumes of all kinds. They have writers, actors, artists, producers, and so much more. I am hooked! Go and find out for yourself how fun it is. The costume contest is a must see. They even display various cars that were created to match the one in the associated movie. What a fun time.

Sue Kimmick

Excellent show!!

Bill Gustkey Jr

As an artist this was one of my better shows. I will be there again this year see you there!

Paul Michaels Artist

Best con in the area. Everything my friends and I go we have a blast. The film festival is fantastic and something none of the Pittsburgh cons offer. The artists are fantastic, the people running the con truly care about giving the guests the best bang for their buck, and the activities are fun. Truly a must stop for anyone who wants to have a good fun day or two.

Kevin Darragh

Had such a fun time. Can’t wait to next years con

Dane McClellan

I went last year and it was amazing! I had a blast! I can’t wait to go again this summer!

Michael Kuntz

WE DO STUFF THERE AND IT’S SUPER FUN AND EVERYONE EVER SHOULD COME. BECAUSE. AWESOME.

Lee DePiro Gearbox Union

I went last year and it was SO MUCH FUN. I hear this year its twice as big, so I cant even imagine how great its going to be. SO EXCITED!

Paulie Johncola

I was uniquely impressed by the way Casey Bassett and his team ran this convention. This was my first visit to Sci-Fi Valley Con, and I do believe that myself, and the 1701st Fleet will be back in the future.
