Event curators have secured a collection of experts for their
Complex(Con)versations series on a variety of topics like the food industry, crypto-
currency, fashion, culture and influence. One of the panelists is hip-hop veteran
André 3000 who will be speaking on “ The Art of Collab,” Sunday afternoon
according to ComplexCon’s twitter account.

A large theme of ComplexCon is the celebration of streetwear and fashion. Many
brands and designers will be dropping exclusive items and collaborations available
only at the convention, according to an announcement.
Attendees will have the opportunity to shop these items in the Marketplace where
they have brought together art, food, and fashion vendors that will be accessible for

the duration of the weekend. Some booths feature companies that say they will offer
“experiences,” like Firefox and eBay.

The convention is all ages, and children under 6-years- old will be admitted free of
charge. ComplexCon does ask that minors either be accompanied or supervised by
an adult. Tickets include access to the convention and concert, and are available
through https://www.complexcon.com/ along with more information.
