Get ready, geek fam, because Geekzilla T3 is the ultimate celebration of everything nerdy — and we mean EVERYTHING. Whether you’re a diehard comic book collector, a retro-tech enthusiast, or a synthwave-loving, neon-drenched escapist, this year’s event promises to be the convention to end all conventions (until next year, of course). So, buckle up your flux capacitors, dust off your favorite Star Wars action figure, and get ready to dive into the glorious chaos of Geekzilla T3!
What Is Geekzilla T3?
It’s not your typical convention. Oh no, Geekzilla T3 is where the universes of comic books, vintage tech, and the 80s aesthetic come together in a mind-blowing mix of nostalgia, fandom, and futuristic vibes. Imagine San Diego Comic-Con, CES, and Miami Vice had a baby, and that baby grew up listening to Daft Punk. We’re talking epic cosplay, panels that go full nerd, tech demos that will make your inner child cry tears of joy, and synthwave beats that will have you moonwalking through the vendor hall.
But enough chatter. Let’s get to the good stuff — here’s what you can expect at Geekzilla T3:
Fake Panel Schedule (Because Who Doesn’t Love Fake Panels?)
Friday – Day 1: “Kickin’ Off with Cosmic Energy!”
- 11:00 AM – “It’s Morphin’ Time: The Power Rangers’ Legacy”
Join the original Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (and a couple of surprise guests) as they discuss how Zordon would totally use an iPad Pro in 2025. Also, Alpha 5 was definitely the first-ever Siri, am I right? Come for the behind-the-scenes stories, stay for the awkward dance-offs. - 1:00 PM – “The History of Retro Tech: 8-Bit to 16-Bit”
Take a deep dive into the golden age of gaming with a panel featuring legendary game designers from the 80s and 90s. Get the lowdown on how we went from the Atari 2600 to the Game Boy — and the Game Boy‘s unrelenting grip on your soul (and your free time). - 3:00 PM – “Synthwave Soundscapes: From Neon Dreams to VR Reality”
Your host, DJ Retro Byte, spins tales of the Synthwave movement — from its roots in 80s pop culture to its resurgence in modern media. Get ready to vibe to the futuristic sounds while you learn about the technological evolution that made it all possible. - 5:00 PM – “Live Cosplay Face-Off: The Ultimate Showdown”
Think your cosplay is the best? Think again! Watch cosplayers from across the world compete in the ultimate Geekzilla Cosplay Face-Off, featuring Lara Croft battling Tron in a digital dance-off, and a Star Trek Klingon facing off against Boba Fett in an epic lightsaber duel. The winner? Probably the person with the most LED lights on their costume.
Saturday – Day 2: “Retro Wonderland and Beyond”
- 10:00 AM – “The Future is Now: Hacking Your Tech Like a Pro”
From modding your old-school Commodore 64 to building a Raspberry Pi retro arcade console, this panel covers everything you need to make your tech retro-future-ready. Grab your soldering iron, we’re going to make a toaster that plays Pac-Man. - 12:00 PM – “The Rise of Superheroes in Pop Culture”
It’s time to get geeky about comics! This panel explores how superheroes went from the pages of comics to global pop culture icons. Special guests include Stan Lee’s long-lost twin brother (no, really), and an unmasked Spider-Man (because no one can ever know Peter Parker’s true identity). - 2:00 PM – “Breaking Down the Best Synthwave Albums”
For every Blade Runner lover and Stranger Things aficionado, this is the panel that defines your soul. DJs, producers, and synthwave legends break down the soundtracks that shaped a generation. You’ll never look at neon the same way again. Trust us. - 4:00 PM – “Virtual Reality: The Next Big Comic Book Universe?”
Could VR be the future of comics? Well, yes, and this panel proves it. Join creators, tech visionaries, and comic book artists who are making the digital comic book experience an actual thing. You’ll even get to demo a few immersive VR comics where you can become the hero. - 7:00 PM – “The Star Wars VS. Star Trek Debate: Will We Ever End It?”
Join the ultimate nerdy debate. The only rule? There are no rules. Watch die-hard fans of Star Trek and Star Wars battle it out with questions like, “Who would win in a fight, Captain Kirk or Han Solo?” Spoiler: The answer is never clear, just chaos.
Cosplay Corner: Where Fantasy Meets Reality
At Geekzilla T3, cosplay is not just encouraged; it’s practically a religion. Prepare for some truly mind-blowing costumes that take cosplay to the next level. We’re talking full-on Iron Man suits made from 3D printers, Mandalorians walking around like they own the place, and an army of Sailor Moons battling Goku in an epic dance-off.
Here’s a quick look at some of the most creative cosplays we saw last year:
- *The Last of Us’ Ellie Meets Blade Runner’s Replicant
A mashup of two iconic post-apocalyptic worlds. Imagine a hungry, bow-wielding Ellie walking around with glowing Replicant eyes in an outfit made entirely of broken-down tech parts. Bonus points if she tries to “make it through the apocalypse” in neon high-tops. - **Synthwave Optimus Prime
Picture this: The Autobot leader reimagined as a neon-lit dream come to life. Optimus Prime rolls into the hall to the sweet sound of “Nightcall” by Kavinsky. He’s part truck, part 80s nightclub, and all hype.
Vendor Highlights: The Nerdy Goods You Never Knew You Needed
You thought you came for the panels, but you’ll stay for the awesome vendors. Geekzilla T3 has a vendor hall that spans three football fields and a couple of arcades (because why not?). Here’s a glimpse at some of the coolest booths you’ll find:
- **Laser-Cut 8-Bit Jewelry
For the gamer who wants to wear their heart on their sleeve (literally). From Mario mushroom earrings to Link’s Master Sword necklaces, this booth has it all. Get your geek on without ever having to leave the convention hall. - **Future Tech Inc. – Retro Tech Restorations
They’ll take your old Game Boy and give it a futuristic twist, so you can game in style — without having to say goodbye to your beloved classic consoles. Retro gaming meets the latest tech! - **Retro Synth Sounds
Take home your own personal synthwave soundtrack. Whether you’re looking for vinyl records or custom-designed synth pads, this booth has everything you need to transform your living room into a neon paradise.
