THE BEST WEEKEND OF THE YEAR.
THE BEST WEEKEND OF THE YEAR.
Once a year, cardists from around the world come together for the official Cardistry-Con Meetup, a three-day celebration of card artistry.
2023
London
Cardistry-Con returns to Europe for the first time since 2016. Over 300 Cardists from around the world gathered together in an old Crypt in the heart of London.
2022
San Diego
Nearly 250 attendees from across the world gathered together after a very long two-year hiatus due to COVID-19. The meetup felt like a long overdue reunion. Tears were shed of happiness, and memories were made that will never be forgotten.
2019
Portland
Our biggest conference to date, with over 500 registered attendees inside one of Portland’s most iconic Theaters. Highlights include the release of Fontaine Futures and the epic finale of our now-discontinued Championship Competition.
2018
Hong Kong
Asia represents a large part of the cardistry community and in 2018 we came to them and hosted our fifth annual meetup at the top of a highrise building. Although one of our smaller gatherings the entire event felt more like a family vacation than a formal conference.
2017
Los Angeles
Our 2017 Meetup took place inside a warehouse in the artist district of downtown Los Angeles and saw the integration of other skill-based arts such as Finger-Tutting, Kendama, and Card Stacking.
2016
Berlin
Cardistry-Con goes abroad for the first time, and boy, was this one fun. Cramped inside a small building, attendees joined together for three days in one of the most vibrant cities we’ve hosted.
2015
Brookyn
After the success of our pilot conference the year prior we chose Brooklyn to host the first official Cardistry-Con. Attendees from all over the world met face-to-face for the first time and WIRED magazine documented the event for a featured article. Cardistry was about to go mainstream!
2014
San Diego
The first Cardistry-Con took place in a small conference room on the last day of Magic-Con and lasted for 90 minutes. During that time, the small group of attendees showcased new material, presented videos, and gave brief talks. Cardistry-Con was born.
