The most awesomest fun con, I travel over 1000 miles to get there and keep coming back for more!- Erica B.

 

Full of life and full of love. A place for everyone to connect. Loved it.- Veon V.

 

Saturday was my very first time going to Acen and I have to say I absolutely enjoyed myself and will definitely be back next year. The event was amazing, the people were awesome and I can't wait to do it again!!!- DeVareon H.

 

I have been going to Acen for the past 7 years now and I am not going to lie some people look forward to Christmas, I look forward to ACEN every year. I love the atmosphere, the people, Security is great. After working at a convention in the past I have to give major props to all the staff at ACEN who make it look so easy even when it isn't.- Johnathan W.

 

It was the first Con that I had ever been to, and since then I have been going for the last 6 years. The Congoers are some of the most friendly and passionate people that I have ever met and each year the Con adds more and more to the list of things to do and see.- Michael D.

 

This is definitely a con to attend! I have an amazing time every year. It is impossible to attend to everything that goes on, so it just gives you an excuse to keep coming back ;)- Jennifer T.

 

The atmosphere is just amazing.- Isaia R.

 

ACEN is my home away from home! And the people there are like my big crazy family! Can't wait to make new friends and reunite with friends from last ACEN!- Sam J.

 

My favorite con ever!- Tony B.

 

The greatest 3 days of my year!- Ryan M.
