With conventions happening all over the U.S., I feel it’s important to know which ones are worth going to and why. Today we’re going to be taking a look at PokeCON, hosted by Sukoshi Con! I’m going to give a breakdown of all the information you need in order to decide whether or not you’d like to go – but remember it does start tomorrow so you better decide quick.
Location
- Louisville, KY
- Crowne Hotel and Expo Center
830 Phillips Lane
Louisville, KY 40209
If you’re in the area this is definitely going to be a Con to check out!
Dates
- January 9, 2015

- January 11, 2015
Rates
- 3 Day Pass - $50
- January 9th - $30
- January 10th - $40

So if you’re looking to go more than one day it’s financially better to just swing for the 3 Day Pass – even if you’re only looking to go two of the three days.

Nearby Hotels & Amenities
Especially if you’re going to be traveling to Louisville you may be wondering what hotels are nearby that you could contact, well let me help you out here:
- Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Center
Starting at $119 a night you can reach them at (502) 367-2251. - Courtyard Louisville Airport
Beginning at $93 a night it would be your next best bet for reserving a room close to the Expo Center. You can reach the hotel at (502) 368-5678. - Hilton Garden Inn Louisville Airport
At $125 a night it’s the most expensive of the three; however if there’s no other rooms available at the others this one would be your next best bet. You may reach them at (502) 637-2424.
If you’re worried about nearby restaurants or fast food joints, don’t be! There’s plenty that can be found very close and if you want to be absolutely sure, you can find a list on the Sukoshi Con’s website here. I personally suggest the Hard Rock Café and Steak ’N Shake!
