Q-Con XVIII Pre-registration Now Closed

Pre-Registration for Q-Con XVIII and for convention accommodation is now closed. If you've missed your chance to pre-register don’t worry, you can still come down on the day and register for the event. Last year we sold out on the Saturday and Sunday of Q-Con so we'd advise getting down as early as you can to get your ticket.

We’ll soon be sending out e-mails to everyone who has pre-registered with instructions on how to collect their registrations and how to get keys to accommodation.

Look out for more updates on Q-Con XVIII over the next few days as we gear up for the convention.

Q-Con Begins!! Register for Q-Con XVIII On the Day!

Unfortunately, one of the Q-Con venue lifts has a mechanical fault, making disabled access impossible to the floor hosting most of our anime screenings, and some of our anime events.  A second stream of the Dubbed Anime Screenings is now available on the 2nd Floor (Anne Maguire Room) to provide access via alternative lifts.  Please ask our staff for more information.
We are very sorry for this, as it is beyond our control - the rest of the convention remains accessible via alternative lifts, including the cosplay masquerade.

If you've missed your chance to pre-register don’t worry, come down on the day - the weekend pass is £20, and a day pass for each day costs only £10. 
To register on the day, simply come to the Registration Area on the left as you enter the front door to the QUB Students' Union - there is a dedicated entrance which will be sign-posted.  You will need to fill in a short registration form, and provide this -along with your entry fee- to one or our registration staff - you will then be supplied with your badge, events guide and convention pack.  Registration will open at noon on Friday, while game registration for Friday evening begins at 6pm, for games starting at 7pm.  Registration will be open throughout the day, each day of the convention.

For more details on opening times and finding the convention venue, please look at our venue details page.
Last year we sold out on the Saturday and Sunday of Q-Con so we'd advise getting down as early as you can to get your convention pass.

Please note that if you wish to attend the Over 18 sections of the convention (Saturday evening) you will require an age verification wristband, which will be issued to attendees each day from the SU Reception desk on the Ground Floor. You must bring valid photographic ID (Valid Driving Licence/Passport, QUB or UU Student Card, or valid ID Card with the PASS hologram on it).

A quick shout out to the guys from The Adventuring Party who are giving their impressions of Q-Con XVIII in their weekly podcast, the first part of which you can listen to here.

It's good to hear the average gamers impressions of Q-Con and their article read-throughs are always entertaining and enlightening, epically for all the spelling and grammar mistakes we've inevitably missed on the website Laughing

Donny Vermillion does not approve of this message...Q-Con XVIII Starcraft 2 Tournament

This year Q-Con will be hosting an Invitational Starcraft 2 tournament over the Saturday and Sunday of Q-Con. 

This year's inaugural Q-Con tournament will be a partly invitational event with a limited number of slots available on the day. The event will be casted live in the Students' Union by James Dobbie, Patrick McClurg and Stewart Millar and is an ideal event for newbies to Starcraft and hardcore players alike.

With games going on throughout the weekend, people new to the competitive Starcraft 2 scene are guaranteed to learn a ton over the course of Q-Con. For those just spectating it will be a great fun and social experience - consider it like watching football for nerds.

Updates to Boardgames and RPG's

We've added even more games to our Boardgames and RPG sections and we've big updates on the way to our Anime Screening and Anime Event sections
