## Summary

Two Hollywood executives are launching Military Con, a pair of conventions intended to bring Comic-Con-style experiences to America’s military community. The events will combine military history and technology with personal stories, entertainment and interactive attractions, at a time when public support for the US war with Iran is limited.

The conventions are scheduled for 4–6 June 2027 in San Antonio and 4–6 September in San Diego, with each following a three-day theme: “The Call”, “The Mission” and “The Return”. Plans include military equipment displays, live demonstrations, gaming competitions and discussions involving Hollywood guests and service members. Organisers say the event is apolitical; ticket details and speakers are due to be announced in the coming months.
