LET’S BUILD SOMETHING.
DIY CON is three unforgettable days where DIYers, makers, creators, and weekend warriors come together to learn new skills, build real projects, meet their favorite creators, and leave ready to tackle what's next. Join us for the FIRST-EVER DIY CON November 6-8 in Dallas, TX. Come for the inspiration and leave ready to build.
BUILT FOR THE ONES WHO'D RATHER MAKE IT THEMSELVES.
Some people binge shows on the weekend, but you start projects.
DIY CON is where thousands of makers, creators, homeowners, crafters, and curious beginners come together to learn, create, experiment, and celebrate the joy of building something with their own hands.
Whether you're hanging your first shelf, remodeling a kitchen, learning to weld, or searching for your next obsession, you'll find inspiration around every corner and people who can't wait to share what they know.
