CCON - COMIC CON Stuttgart

CCON – COMIC CON Stuttgart, formerly known as Comic Con Germany, is an annual multi-genre convention that has become a permanent fixture in Germany’s pop culture landscape since its launch in 2016. The event takes place at the modern Stuttgart Trade Fair Center, conveniently located near the airport with direct access to highways and the S-Bahn, offering easy travel for attendees from both within Germany and abroad. It is organized by Comic Con Germany GmbH, a company committed to building a professional bridge between international pop culture trends and the German fan community.

Each year, for one weekend, the Stuttgart Trade Fair transforms into a vibrant meeting place for film and series enthusiasts, comic fans, cosplayers, gamers, collectors, and fandom communities. In the German-speaking world, CCON – COMIC CON Stuttgart stands out for its blend of high-quality programming, celebrity guests, interactive experiences, and strong community connection. It is no longer seen as just a niche event, but as a well-established cultural date for audiences of all ages.

At the heart of the convention are international film and television actors from genres such as science fiction, fantasy, horror, and superheroes. They engage directly with their fans through autograph sessions, photo ops, panels, and live Q&As. The program is further enriched by a dynamic comic scene: In the Artist Alley, renowned comic artists, illustrators, and concept designers showcase their work, sign autographs, and share their expertise in workshops.

A key attraction is the cosplay area. Competitions, parades, workshops, and the dedicated "Cosplay Kingdom" provide an impressive platform for creative craftsmanship and imaginative costumes. Gaming fans also enjoy a varied offering: interactive gaming zones, eSports tournaments, stage shows, and a dedicated gaming cosplay contest create a lively and cross-generational atmosphere.

The convention experience is further enhanced by themed zones such as the immersive Galactic Cantina (a Star Wars area), the Queer Avenue, an extensive TCG and card show area, and a special 18+ section. Exhibitions focusing on fantasy, horror, and science fiction feature original film props, walking acts, LEGO MOCs, and medieval showcases, offering spectacular insights into imaginative worlds.

Surrounding the convention halls are hundreds of vendor booths offering rare collectibles, limited editions, exclusive merchandise, comics, fan goods, and Pride items. Live podcasts, panels with voice actors, artists, and pop culture experts round out the program and create valuable networking opportunities. Numerous hands-on activities and workshops foster community engagement and encourage participation.

Exhibitors come from diverse fields including entertainment, comic publishing, film and television, costume design, game development, merchandising, and digital media production—as well as traditional crafts and arts. Visitors predominantly come from across Europe and represent a broad spectrum: cosplayers, collectors, families, media professionals, content creators, and experts from the pop culture industry.

Together with the open-minded atmosphere of Stuttgart, the excellent infrastructure of the convention center, and a top-tier event program, CCON – COMIC CON Stuttgart offers a unique experience for everyone who doesn’t just consume pop culture—but lives it.

The CCON - COMIC CON will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 29. November to Sunday, 30. November 2025 in Stuttgart.
