According to Tully, the two-day event is AlienCon’s first in-person event since pandemic started in 2020.
“We’re really looking forward to being back in Pasadena. The first event that we had there was so successful for us, and we’re excited to be able to bring it back to the wider Pasadena and Los Angeles community.”
To be held at Pasadena Convention Center, AlienCon features panel discussions and presentations, autograph and photograph sessions, exclusive merchandise, screenings, and more.

The speakers will cover a wide range of topics including UAPs and UFOs.
Over a hundred vendors will also participate in the event, as per Tully.

“We have a number of different artists. So, everything from painters, sculptors, jewelers coming. We also have Alien Hot Sauce.”
According to Tully, the first ever AlienCon event started in 2016 in Santa Clara.
AlienCon stemmed from the show Ancient Aliens, which explores all things about unexplained phenomena including aliens.
“There was a really vibrant community of people and super fans, and we decided we wanted to create a place for them to kind of get together. And that was kind of the precipice of how AlienCon came to be in 2016 and has kind of grown into a much larger community of people.”
She continued: “We’re always really excited to get together and to hear and listen and kind of learn from a host of different panelists and experts and speakers that we’ve got.”
The upcoming event in Pasadena is the sixth in person event of AlienCon since it started, according to Tully.
