HiroCon

HiroCon is the community and nerd convention run by Next Heroes Events at the E-Werk Saarbrücken. It launched in 2025 and covers anime and manga, cosplay, trading card games, board games, video games, art, as well as J- and K-culture.

The programme is spread across five areas with stages, workshops, contests and hands-on activities. The weekend also includes a nerd flea market outdoors and a trading card fair.

Retro gaming is not a focus of the event, but it does feature in the gaming area and at the flea market.
