Dragon Con drew 65,000 attendees to downtown Atlanta over Labor Day weekend 2022 — the convention's second year back after going digital-only during the pandemic — and raised a record $190,000 for Open Hand Atlanta.
By 2015, MomoCon had outgrown its Georgia Tech origins and moved to the Georgia World Congress Center, drawing 20,000 attendees and 200 vendors — a family-friendly counterpart to Dragon Con's Labor Day spectacle.
Dragon Con projected a record 57,000 attendees for its 2013 convention — up from 52,000 the previous year — as the pop culture gathering spread across five downtown hotels and spilled into Atlanta's streets for its signature Saturday parade.
