The Summit
In addition to live action role playing games, Wyrd Con is proud to work with LARP Alliance Inc., a nonprofit corporation created to support the LARP community, in presenting the first North American LARP Summit, featuring a lineup of notable LARP theorists, critics, craftsman and designers who will explain their art and demonstrate their creations in both interactive panels and hands-on workshops. 

The LARP Summit's topic this year is "Live Action Role Playing in North America." Discussions will focus on the history of LARPing in the Western Hemisphere, its current state with both national and regional emphasis, the nature of LARP itself, and its future. The workshops will allow the audience to learn from experts in costume design, prop making, improvisational acting/role-playing, and LARP production. Plus, they'll get to try out and take home some of the tips, tricks, and even objects that the masters have learned and made after decades of experience.
