Armageddon Convention has been running for 20 years in New Zealand (as of 2015). It is a new Zealand owned and operated business. the organizers wanted to expand the event and offer fans a more inclusive event experience. So, the next logical step was offering evening events and events outside of the traditional Armageddon experience.
