Hollywood Veterans Launch ‘Military Con’ to Celebrate U.S. Armed Forces

A former senior vice‑president of Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Jennifer Worthington, and Hulu founder George Kliavkoff are applying Comic‑Con tactics to a new audience: America’s military community. The pair, through their media and hospitality company Two Dice Media, are launching Military Con, a pair of conventions scheduled for June 4‑6, 2027, at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio and September 4‑6, 2027, at the San Diego Convention Center.

The events will unfold over three days—"The Call," "The Mission," and "The Return"—and will feature interactive experiences based on real military operations, a "Hardware Alley" showcasing aircraft, vehicles and equipment, live demonstrations, gaming competitions, and Hollywood guests who will discuss military stories alongside service members who lived them. The organizers say the focus is on honoring the men and women who have served and the families who have supported them, and that the advisory board is apolitical.

Military Con arrives at a sensitive time, eight months into the U.S. war with Iran, when public opinion is increasingly calling for an end to the conflict. The organizers emphasize that the convention is not a political event but a celebration of service, sacrifice and the stories behind the uniform.

Ticket details and speaker line‑ups will be announced in the coming months. The venture represents a new niche in live‑event media, joining other military‑focused expos such as MCON in Las Vegas.
