Why this checklist is different for FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention 2026
Cosplay, Prop Making, Gaming plans need more than a generic suitcase list. Pack around the builds you are actually wearing, not just the event badge.
Salt Lake City, UT during September 24–26, 2026 can swing warm, cool, or rainy. Pack layers and a light rain plan before you commit to fragile shoes or exposed props.
If you are driving, split your kit between a floor bag and a hotel-room repair kit so you are not carrying glue, paint, and tools all day.
Packing tips for FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention 2026
If you are carrying props, plan your day around weapon check. Most cons require peace bonding (zip ties on moving parts, orange caps on projectile-shaped props) before you can enter the floor. Get there early on the first day and bring your own zip ties. Pack a clear badge holder to clip the weapon check tag to your prop so staff can spot it fast. Large props need a breakdown plan or a friend who can guard them while you eat.
Tournament prep starts the night before. Verify your controller firmware, charge everything, and test your setup on the actual game build you will be playing. Convention WiFi drops at peak hours, so bring an ethernet cable if the tournament setup allows it. Download bracket apps on your phone before you arrive. Pack a cushion. Tournament seating is folding chairs, and a 6-hour bracket on a metal chair will end your focus before the finals.
