The fast-rising sport gets its moment in the sun with its own convention in the convention capital of the world.
Open to the general public and set to take place from July 11 to 17, the convention will be held at the newly renovated Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
The nearly 2-year renovation of 2.1 million square feet of convention space added new tropical designs and technology.
DesignerCon attracts more than 70,000 attendees each year and hundreds more artists and vendors.
