Fandom’s Seventh Annual Party Presented by Electronic Arts (EA)

Rooftop, Comic-Con week, and the line downstairs is full of people who could not get in. That is the whole social physics of this party: invitation only, thrown while the convention is at full boil, and everyone inside it works in or around the thing you spent all week standing in line for. Fandom, the largest fan platform on the internet, throws it at FLOAT above the Hard Rock, and Electronic Arts is back as presenting sponsor with activations built around Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Z2 Comics and Pinfinity run their own, including an AR experience. Jason Derulo plays a set. The company is turning twenty in October, so the night doubles as the opening move of its own birthday run, with moments scattered across the evening for whoever made it upstairs. It is the party your badge does not get you into. Which is precisely why everyone in San Diego that week is trying to find someone who knows someone.
