Walker Stalker Convention 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 welcomes more than 300,000 members of the #TWDFamily to 16 venues around the world to meet actors and artists from their favorite show. Our goal? To share a little bit of the magic we felt in Senoia with you.

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.

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.

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.

Photo ops are professionally taken photos and include an 8×10 print out of your photo. You can purchase additional print outs or digital downloads from our photo op provider.

Photo ops are taken at scheduled times and are subject to change. Please visit Celeb Photo Op’s website and review their FAQs. Questions regarding photo ops should be directed to
