This February, pop culture, comics, anime, gaming, cosplay, local artists, vendors, and community partners are coming together for UHD’s first-ever Gator Con from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, in the Wellness & Success Center!
Gator Con will be free for UHD students, faculty, staff, and children 12 and under, $10 for WSC community members, $15 for general community members.
The entire campus community is invited to get involved in building this landmark event. The time is now. Here are the ways:
Sponsor or Vendor Opportunities
The Gator Con Planning Team is actively seeking outside vendors and sponsors who want to be part of this major campus event. If you own a business, know a small business owner, or want to recommend a company, we’d love to hear from you.
Email sli@uhd.edu if you have any recommendations.
Student & Student Organization Tabling
We are reserving a limited number of free tables for UHD students and student organizations. Because space is limited, an application is required, and spots are not guaranteed.

Panel Presenters Wanted
We are accepting applications for panels on any topic typically featured at a Comic Con, including comics, gaming, anime, cosplay, pop culture analysis, creative arts, industry perspectives, and more. If you’ve ever thought, “I could present this at a Con,” we want to hear from you!
