Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nerdtacular?
Nerdtacular was started way back in 2007 as a way to bring the fans around the Frogpants podcasts and creators together for a fun weekend of hanging out and getting to know each other! It started with just a movie theater rental, and grew to be a full fledged 3-day convention. The event ran for 10 years, and then took a pause around the pandemic…until NOW! (Well, soon!)
Where is Nerdtacular 2026 being held?
We are holding the event in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, Scott’s hometown! More details soon on specific venues and such!
