Over the course of a weekend, have a meet-and-greet with the actors from the epic series in one of the most beautiful castles in the world…

Because we’re tired of seeing every fan convention taking place in dull locations such as depots and warehouses, and because every major convention is taking place outside of Europe, we’re bringing you WIC CON, the first ever European Game of Thrones convention, set to take place in an exceptional venue.

With 14 million viewers every week and more than 5 million downloads, this is the show to end all shows…

Being part of a Game of Thrones convention just a few days before the launch of season 4 is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any self-respecting fan !

How would you like to spend 3 days in the castle of Carcassonne, going from one conference to the next with actors from the show, having autographs signed, and having some medieval roleplaying fun on the way ?

Our idea ? During the convention you’ll have to defend your house’s colors (Stark, Lannister, Baratheon or Targaryen) which you’ll choose on arrival through a series of games. Over the course of the weekend, GOT-related activities will allow you to cumulate points. At the end of the convention, the family with the most points will go home win the golden crown.

We thought it wouldn’t make sense to organize such an event in a warehouse, we wanted a venue that would fit the grandeur of the show:

Actors :

- Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo)

JASON MOMOA is poised as one of Hollywood’s upcoming leading male action stars. He will next be seen in David Hayter’s feature Wolves for EOne and Crystal Sky. In addition, he has just landed one of the lead roles in the new Sundance Channel series, The Red Road. Last year, he was seen starring opposite Sylvester Stallone in Bullet to the Head, directed by Walter Hill for Warner Brothers and Joel Silver. JASON has finished production on Road to Paloma, a road-tale, revenge thriller which he wrote, is acting in and also directing. He was tenacious in getting this project funded. Making his big screen debut in the summer of 2011, Jason took on the iconic character of ‘Conan,’ garnering positive reviews in the Lionsgate/Millennium franchise reboot of Conan the Barbarian. Jason also played an integral role in the success of the critically acclaimed and Emmy-nominated first season of the HBO series Game of Thrones (There was such an overwhelming response to his role of ‘Khal Drogo’ that they wrote his character back into the second season.) He also established a large genre fan base from his portrayal of ‘Ronan Dex’ in the SyFy series Stargate: Atlantis (2005-2009) and was a Series Regular on North Shore for FBC.

- We already have letters of intent from a dozen actors from the show, but we can’t communicate any names until the first threshold is reached. As thresholds are reached we will update the list of actors coming to our convention.

The venue: the castle of Carcassonne
