Gear up with your cosplay and prep those poses for the LVL UP Expo, which draws in creative and passionate fans! LVL UP EXPO is a three-day annual event that brings together people from all backgrounds to celebrate creativity, passion, and competition on a global platform. The first LVL UP Expo was held in 2013. The convention has moved to the Las Vegas Convention Center in the heart of the city. The expo features competitive gaming, inspiring artistry, and community-building activities throughout the three days (and nights). In 2024, 120,000+ attendees took over the expo over three days. This year, LVL UP EXPO promises an array of vendors, artists, voice actors, panels, and more.
Cosplay trends flourish across social media platforms. Cosplay is a fun way to show love for their favorite characters. These characters can be from anime, movies, TV shows, comics, video games, and other pop culture sources. Cosplayers create amazing costumes that allow them to embody their favorite characters and express their creativity.
Last year, LVL UP Con-goers impressed us with their talent. Check out our gallery from last year; this year’s lineup is amped up for another great turnout! We’ve compiled a list of all the cosplay meetups we’ve seen from the official LVL UP Expo App and Facebook group, and will continue to update the list until the day of the con!
