worldwide fandom
A number of events at Icon will concern themselves with the Icon audience itself - the fandom phenomenon and the fans - both in Israel and worldwide:
Is Geek the new Black?
Every mother wants a pale and friendless son, which sits in front of the computer all day long, and every girl dreams of a four-eyed, gawky knight in a flannel shirt, right? So, did every unpopular kid's fantasy come true, or are geeks still persecuted for their beliefs?
