The time of ComplexCon is nigh! Our inaugural convention and multimedia festival descends upon the Long Beach Convention Center this weekend (Nov. 5-6). And while the lineup of performers is about as stacked as they come with everyone from Travis Scott to Skrillex, there are a lot of other treats in store that we wanted to bring to your attention.

What would a convention be without riveting discussions? Enter: Complex Conversations, our panel series on which actor and activist Jesse Williams is serving as our Curator of Tech and Innovation. As part of the series, legendary radio host Angie Martinez will moderate a panel about the past, present, and future of hip-hop, while on the style side of the spectrum, fashion-forward creative-at-large Vashtie Kola will investigate whether street style’s gone mainstream. Additionally, ComplexCon’s cultural director and executive chair Pharrell Williamswill host a live taping of his Beats 1 radio show OTHERtone with co-host Scott Vener.

For all your shopping desires, we’ll have exclusive drops from Puma, Nike, Adidas, and Undefeated, merch pop-ups by Taylor Gang and ASAP Mob’s AWGE Shit, and stylish Complex goods featuring gorgeous tees and skate decks designed by Takashi Murakami. Not to mention, we'll be selling Justin Bieber Purpose Tour threads as well.

But that's not all. At our Art Zone, you’ll be delighted by live murals, virtual reality pop-ups, holograms, interactive art, and gaming stations. And when you’re hungry, we’ll have you covered with food by the pun-happy Yeastie Boys and Me So Hungry as well as Free Range L.A., Ridges Churro Bar, and more.

So what are you waiting for? Head on over to ComplexCon.com for tickets and more information on what will be the dopest party of the year.
