DesignerCon (DCon) celebrates its 20th anniversary by reflecting on the success of this year’s show.  Known as the hub for designer toys, art, and pop culture, DCon highlights its major brand collaborations, fan-favorite drops, and more.

The Expo at World Market Center welcomed nearly 30,000 attendees for the 2025 DCon. Between Nov. 14-16, the multi-day event brought hundreds of artists, vendors, and brands to its guests. Like previous years, this show delivered a vibrant array of launches, limited drops, and exclusive appearances. 

From the toy industry, attendees saw a mix of major global toy makers, rising artists, and popular brands. Notable appearances for this year include Rokimoto, Mondo, Tokidoki, Mighty Jaxx, and more. DCon was also the place for guests to see international mystery-box companies such as LuckyEmma, TNT Space, 52Toys, and Soap Studio.

Alongside massive attendance and notable appearances, DCon also participated in philanthropic acts. Made in partnership with Kaleidos Creative, the 20th Anniversary Launch Party helped raise more than $10,000 for Las Vegas non-profit Positively Arts.

“The energy this year was something special. Seeing more artists participate, watching fans discover new creators, and feeling the excitement across the floor made this 20th anniversary very meaningful. We’re proud of how far DesignerCon has come and even more excited for what’s ahead,” says Ben Goretsky, Founder and CEO of DesignerCon. 

DCon will return to Las Vegas in 2026, with next year’s show taking place between Nov. 13–15. For more information about the show, visit designercon.com/showinformation
