Adepticon citing 20% growth that has outgrown their current facility has announced they are moving the location of Adepticon 2025 to the Baird Center in Historic Milwaukee Wisconsin. One hour north of the current location in Illinois. The press release below contains all the details. This may come as a surprise to some but not to me. The Milwaukee convention Center hosted Gencon for years before it moved to its’ current location in Indianapolis. This should prove to be an excellent move for Adepticon but only time will tell.
With the record-breaking success of AdeptiCon 2024 now in the rearview mirror (like a charging Tyrannosaurus), we’ve been able to focus on finalizing the plans for AdeptiCon 2025. We have appreciated everyone’s patience while we’ve navigated the myriad of challenges that come with making major changes.

It will come as little surprise to anyone that attended the convention this year to hear that AdeptiCon is growing. In fact, the convention grew nearly 20% between 2023 and 2024. We hosted an estimated 8,000 attendees. This is amazing growth, and we could not be prouder. But that type of growth creates challenges, and the unavoidable fact is that our current venue is no longer a sustainable option for the size of the convention. With that foremost in mind, and with sincere gratitude to our current venue and hotel partners, we have decided to relocate AdeptiCon to the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin for 2025.

Centrally located in the historic downtown district of Milwaukee, the newly renovated and expanded convention center is over one million square feet and this first year we’ll be using three times our current space, including both venues. But, to be clear, square footage alone wasn’t the only consideration for choosing the Baird Center. The state-of-the-art amenities and spacious layouts follow in the AdeptiCon tradition of feeling “right” for our event. The Baird Center is a location that we can call home for the foreseeable future.
