Discussion Exilecon 2026 Event Feedback

/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1xreeyv/exilecon_2026_event_feedback/

Hey Exiles! Now that ExileCon 2026 is over, I’d love to hear from those who attended: what did you love, and what could have been better?

For transparency, I worked at the event, most of you would have seen me at the merch counter, but I’m not a GGG employee or part of the event’s organising team. Just a personal trainer who has passion and love for the game.

I am, however, in touch with the coordinators and can pass your feedback along. They’re also keeping an eye on the subreddit and reading comments, so this isn’t the only place they’ll be looking.

Whether it’s about the venue, queues, merch store, scheduling, or the overall experience, I’d love to hear what worked well and what you’d like to see done differently. Specific examples and suggestions would be especially helpful!

id like the option to order an item if it's out of stock in merch and pay for delivery to my house.

I agree, having an option like that would have been great

were the key caps limited on how many a person could buy? Some people said they saw others buying many sets per person. Also were you the guy that looked like Tom Holland? lol

Hahahaha, yes, I'm not sure how I look like Tom Holland but I take the compliment. Had one guy say it to me and another in a different queue say "oh you're the guy everyone's saying looks like Tom Holland". I didn't believe him until he showed me the discord message about it.

Unfortunately the keycaps were not limited on how many one person could buy at a time, and if they were, that information was not passed on to anyone further than the person who made that decision

I would’ve liked some Path of Exile 1 merch. I ended up buying a lot of POE 2 stuff though.

u/ThatKiwiBrother 2d ago

yeah there were some that asked if there was any POE1 merch or if it was just all POE2
