BACKSTORY
Founded in 2016 by Michelle “Noodles” Smith, TEE-CON was established to educate and empower creatives within the fashion industry. With a focus on T-shirts, design, and branding. Michelle’s vision was to create an accessible platform for aspiring entrepreneurs, designers, and artists to learn the fundamentals of brand-building through mentorship, live workshops, and collaboration with influential industry professionals.
Over the years, TEE-CON has evolved into a beloved, community-driven convention featuring:
-
Hands-on educational workshops
-
Live art battles
-
Cosplay showcases
-
Gaming zones
-
Unique vendors and artists
Since its inaugural event in 2016, TEE-CON has proudly taken place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., offering an intimate and inspiring experience for creatives of all ages.
Come learn, connect, and create — only at TEE-CON.
Let’s celebrate fashion, fun, and the future of branding together.
