Sanctuary & Richard Dean Anderson Cons

GABIT Events have been running conventions with Stargate’s Amanda Tapping for a number of years, their latest Amanda Tapping event AT4 which will take place in November sold out within a matter of minutes.  GABIT work closely with Amanda Tapping and proceeds of their events support charities.

GABIT have just released some super exciting news on two fronts.  They have teamed up with LEGENDS Memorabilia for the first Sanctuary event “The Sanctuary Experience” to be held in Vancouver from the 30th of July to the 1st of August next year.  The event will include appearances by the cast and crew of Sanctuary and will beneft Amanda Tapping’s newly formed charity “Sanctuary for Kids” which raises funds for other charity organisations that often get overlooked.

Even more exciting is the news that they will hold the first ever Richard Dean Anderson event. “Meet the Man (MTM)” will run along the lines of their AT events in the UK and will be held on the 5th of August.  Tickets will be limited to around 350 including 80 “Charmed” passes that will include extras like entry to the cocktail party.

Registrations will be open soon and more information can be found on the GABIT and Legends Memorabilia websites.
