Walker Stalker Atlanta started with two friends taking a trip to Senoia, Georgia to watch The Walking Dead film their upcoming season. Their incredible day led to a podcast, and that podcast led to a series of fan meetups. Those fan meetups eventually became Walker Stalker Con.

Today, Walker Stalker Con Atlanta welcomes more than 70,000 members of the #TWDFamily to the Georgia Congress Center each year to meet 70+ actors and artists from their favorite show. But our focus is still making sure each guest has the opportunity to come away feeling like they’ve become part of a greater community of zombie lovers

Walker Stalker Con is put on by Fan Fest, a team of fans from across the country. Fan Fest also puts on Heroes and Villains Fan Fests in seven cities across the globe.

In 2019, we’ll return to the Georgia World Congress Center on October 18, 19, & 20!

The Walking Dead premiered on October 31, 2010, and our event has been held on Halloween weekend in tribute ever since!

Platinum and Gold VIPs do not include Photo Ops or Autographs. Instead, our premier ticket packages now include exclusive codes that allow you to purchase Autographs and Photo Ops outside of our standard pre-sale availability, even if that item had previously sold out.

Autographs that are not pre-sold will be available to purchase at each guest’s table.

Codes will be created and sent out via email roughly three weeks before the event. 

Generally, Autographs are purchased in person at each guest’s booth. Autographs are cash only, with prices set by each guest’s agent the weekend of our convention.

A selection of 8X10 photographs will be provided. Alternatively, you may bring an object for the actor to sign at their discretion.

Prices charged are per signature and range between 20-90 dollars.

For a limited number of high demand actors, lines may be cut off based on how many people the actor can sign for in a single day, and their autographs may be sold in advance of the event and a pre-purchased ticket will be required to enter the line.  In rare cases, lines are limited by ticket level due to the guest having limited time to sign autographs. Some actors allow free meet and greets while others require the purchase of an autograph in order to meet them.  That is entirely up to each actor and their management.

Our guests sign any time they aren’t in Photo Ops, panels, or enjoying lunch. Each guest will have a detailed schedule posted at their table as well. Due to longer lines, we recommend visiting more in-demand actors earlier in the day.

All weapons or replicas must be made of plastic, resin, or foam. No real wood or metal bats or katanas will be allowed inside the venue. Please see our Code of Conduct section for more details.

When Andrew is able to join us (typically at our Atlanta & London shows, though no guest is official until we formally announce them), 100% of the proceeds from any Autographs, Photo Ops, or panels are donated to charity.

Because we want Andrew’s experience to continue to be stress-free and relaxing, we pre-sell most opportunities to interact with him, and limit the number sold to make his day more manageable.

Photo ops are professionally taken photos and include an 8×10 print out of your photo, as well as a digital download. Additional printouts are available to purchase either in advance or on-site.

Photo ops are taken at scheduled times and are subject to change. Please visit the Celeb Photo Ops website and review their FAQs. Questions regarding photo ops should be directed to [email protected]

You may bring a small present or letter to a guest’s autograph booth. Gifts will NOT be accepted in the photo ops area due to limited space.

One Photo Op can have up to 2 adult attendees and 3 children attendees (16 and under) in it. In the case of Cast Ops, four fans total may be in a photo op together.

Some guests offer Selfies for purchase at their tables. The policy and price is set by each agent the weekend of the convention.
