It all started with a simple idea…

​

Bring something fun, nerdy, and different

to South Jersey. There are plenty of shows

where you can walk around and shop… and

that’s awesome. But I wanted more than that.

I wanted something that felt alive. Something

where vendors, cosplayers, and fans weren’t just

there… they were part of the experience.

​

Something with energy. Events. Moments. Memories.

And that’s how Nerd Force Fan Fest was born.

​

Episode 1 – The Beginning

We kicked things off at the Marriott Hotel at Rowan

University.  About 4,000 square feet. Two rooms.

One day.

​

A small group of vendors, a cosplay contest, and

a whole lot of excitement.

It was simple… but it worked.

​

People showed up. They had fun. And you could feel it — this was something worth building.​

​

Episode 2 – The Return of the Nerds

We knew we had something… so we leveled up.

We moved to Rowan University’s Chamberlain

Student Center in Glassboro, New Jersey and

expanded into the largest ballroom on campus.

​

About 12,000 square feet.

More vendors. Around 45.
More events. About 7 throughout the day.
More energy. More people. More everything.

​

It wasn’t just growing… it was becoming an experience.

​

Episode 3 – Revenge of the Con

Now we were rolling.

Episode 3 in 2026 pushed things even further.

​

More vendors.
More events on stage.
More to explore.

We expanded beyond the ballroom.

​

Added a comic alley.
Introduced a renaissance area.
Brought in more interactive experiences.

The community kept growing… and it was clear — this wasn’t just a show anymore.

This was something people looked forward to.

​

Episode 4 – A New Home (2027)

So naturally… we went bigger.

Way bigger.

​

For 2027, Nerd Force Fan Fest moves into its

new home: The Vineland Convention Center in

Vineland, New Jersey.

40,000 square feet.
Two full floors.
180+ vendors.
And even more events being built.

This is the next step. A full weekend experience. More space to explore. More to do. More to enjoy.

​

Looking Ahead

This has always been a passion project.

Built to bring people together.
Built to create something fun.
Built for the nerd community.

And we’re just getting started.

​

The goal is simple — keep growing, keep improving, and keep making something people want to come back to year after year.

​

More fans.
More laughs.
More memories.

​

Final Word

I’m Adam, and I’m incredibly excited to bring this to you all.

Whether you’ve been here since Episode 1 or you’re just discovering it now… you’re part of it.

​

And I can’t wait to see you in March 2027 for a big, two-day nerd event.

Because at the end of the day…

​

Nerds rule!
