The First True Crime Convention in the U.S. Lands in Pigeon Forge
Become part of the crime scene at VERDICT: An Event for Crime & Commerce at the LeConte Center in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Projected to draw 10,000 weekend attendees to Sevier County over its three-day run, this new convention in Pigeon Forge is designed for true crime fans, built from every angle of the truth.
Instead of a standard panel-and-booth format, VERDICT runs as a single investigation unfolding over the three-day weekend event. Attendees choose an investigative role, receive a case file, and follow one storyline from Friday’s opening crime through Sunday’s live verdict reveal.
What To Expect
- Friday — The Crime: The opening briefing and suspect reveal
- Saturday — The Investigation: New evidence drops across the expo floor
- Sunday — The Verdict: Investigators submit their theories before the live case reconstruction
- Ten Themed Zones: The Courtroom, The Evidence Room, Dead Air Row, The Yard, The Watchtower, The Jury Box, The Holding Cell, The Visitation Room, The Warden’s Office, The Infirmary
- Dead Air Row: a dedicated live-recording floor for true crime podcasters and creators, with participation tiers ranging from a complimentary slot to $1,199
The Verdict Awards close out the weekend on Sunday, August 8, with winners determined by on-site fan voting; a bronze statuette goes to each category winner.
Don’t miss out on the chance to follow a true crime case across this exciting new three-day event in Pigeon Forge.
