Markster Con celebrates 9 years on June 2nd

June 2nd is a special day as it marks 9 years since Markster Con was birthed out of a small house party between close friends. Since then Markster Con has introduced thousands of new friends and connections (many even going as far as marriage) while creating amazing memories along the way. Needless to say, we are grateful for all who have supported us and are proud of what we have accomplished. With the Pandemic getting more under control and the U.S. society starting to open back up, we can’t wait to eventually help bring fun memories back to our attendees.
