What Is MCON?
Part Expo. Part Festival.
Part Reunion.
Three days in Las Vegas for everyone who served, everyone still serving, and the families beside them.
MCON is the only annual event celebrating what we love and miss about military culture. A show floor you can spend a whole day in. Stages running from morning to night. Competitions, food, live music, and five thousand people who don’t need any of it explained to them.
Come for one thing. Stay for everything you didn’t know was happening.
The Floor
Hundreds of brands built by and for the military community, alongside the non-profits and agencies that back them. Gear you can put your hands on, and people you can actually talk to.
The Stages
Talks, panels and workshops with operators, founders, clinicians and leaders. Then live music and comedy from artists who served.
The Weekend
Jiu-jitsu on the floor, a day out at the range, a creator stage, a collectibles hall, barbecue and bourbon, and a city that does not sleep.
Marquee Programs
The Headline Events.
Two summits, a range day, a tournament, a creator stage and a collectibles hall. Each runs a program of its own across the weekend, with its own stage, its own crowd and its own reason to be there.
