After a break of two years, the much-loved industry convention, Sonic-Con, will once again be held this summer. The 3-day event for established professionals in the family-friendly audio drama world, as well as aspiring creatives in the space, will take place on June 30-July 2, 2026.
With opportunities to learn from and network with some of the top actors, writers, and composers working in audio drama today, Sonic-Con offers a great experience through classes, Q&A sessions, and live audio drama performances. There is also an exhibition hall for existing show producers to promote their work.
Once again being hosted on the campus of Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA, there are some additional options for Sonic-Con attendees this year. While you can still grab a day pass or event-only pass, there are also options to bundle your meals and/or lodging into your event pass as well. Chris Nelson, event director, says about these changes, "The biggest upside this year is the ability for people to stay on campus, eat on campus, and as a result, continue creative conversations throughout each day without having to leave to go to various hotels or eating establishments. I think the synergy of being around people will help increase that networking and relationship-building part of the event."
When you purchase any pass from 2/14 – 4/1 and use the coupon code ATC10, you will receive 10% off your pass. Note, the coupon code does not apply to merch. Remember, get your passes from Valentine’s Day to April Fools' Day to take advantage of the ATC discount.
