This year's attendance set a new record, with over 3,000 visitors joining us throughout the
weekend. On Saturday, there was a long line to get into the event, but luckily, the weather was
great, and our amazing volunteers at the entrance were quick to get everyone inside. Once inside, attendees were greeted by a wide array of exhibitors who played a crucial role in showcasing the vast world of collectible cards. From the latest releases to vintage treasures, there was something for everyone.

The trade zone, with space for 140 people, was constantly buzzing with activity. Visitors
enjoyed opening newly acquired products, playing various types of trading card games
(TCGs), swapping cards, and simply hanging out, surrounded by fellow passionate collectors.
It was a lively space where the community thrived, with an atmosphere full of excitement and
camaraderie.

The Kids' Zone was another highlight of the event. The atmosphere was electric, thanks to our
incredible volunteers who organized fun and creative activities for the young (and the young at
heart). Stacking Pokémon energy cards, drawing competitions, and a target-throwing game
where players aimed at Pokémon plushies were all huge hits. Both kids and adults thoroughly
enjoyed the engaging activities, which made the area a vibrant part of the overall experience.

On stage, a series of fantastic events took place, including Pokémon auctions, giveaways, live
sports card breaks, and Pokémon breaks. There were also interviews with voice actors and
live art demonstrations by Kristian von Hornsleth and Bi Warming, adding an artistic flair to
the event. One of the most anticipated guests was Lorcana artist Matthew Robert Davies, who
has illustrated many of the stunning cards for Disney's Lorcana game. He spent several busy
days at the show, signing autographs and creating sketches for fans, making it an
unforgettable experience for attendees.

In the Learn to Play area, visitors had the chance to try out various TCG games, including
Disney Lorcana, Star Wars Unlimited, Pokémon, and One Piece. This space was widely
popular, offering both new players and seasoned veterans the opportunity to engage with new
games or perfect their strategies. The atmosphere in this area was buzzing with excitement,
and it was clear that winning or losing wasn't as important as the joy of learning and playing
together.

We owe a massive thank you to all the volunteers who made Nordic Card Show x PokeKon
2024 possible. Their dedication and enthusiasm were the backbone of the event. A special
thanks also goes out to our main event sponsor, Topps Nordics, for their continued support.
We can’t wait to see you all again in 2025!

Thousands flocked to the Nordic Card Show (NCS), including many first-time visitors who were thoroughly impressed by the vibrant and diverse world of collectible cards. This event provided an eye-opening experience for many, showcasing the extensive and thrilling aspects of the trading card hobby. A recurring remark among attendees was, "We need to check if we have our childhood trading cards stored in the attic, basement, or in a shoebox somewhere."

The event was filled with exciting activities and engaging performances. On stage, we hosted multiple box breaks, auctions, and giveaways, drawing large crowds and creating a dynamic atmosphere. At the TOPPS Nordics booth, football freestyler Emil Jylhänlahti dazzled spectators with his incredible skills, adding an extra layer of entertainment and excitement.
