Austin Browncoats Conventions

Throughout the year, Austin Browncoats attend many conventions ranging in variety from sci-fi to pop culture to comic books. Customarily, we run a dealer booth at these events, where attendees can support our charities by purchasing items from our Whedon Wares store. We also have experience running panels and charity auctions, as well as hosting room parties at various conventions.

If you are interested in inviting Austin Browncoats to your convention or event, please see our Convention Booking page.
