The Secret to Surviving Geek’d Con? It’s All About the Brunch Break.

Geek'd Con 2025 is finally here, and a smart strategy is key to making the most of the epic weekend. While the Shreveport Convention Center's air conditioning is a welcome escape from the August heat, veteran con-goers agree on one pro tip: don't forget to take a break and treat yourself, better yet, plan an epic Brunch date with your favorites and enjoy going out in your cosplay all over Shreveport-Bossier.

The con floor is an exhilarating place, but the constant walking and sensory overload can drain your energy fast. A well-timed lunch or brunch break can recharge your batteries and get you ready for the rest of the day's adventures.

Whether you want to refuel with your fellow con friends or sneak away for a solo mental recharge, a brunch break is the perfect strategy. We've put together a list of the best brunch spots to help you refuel, along with a few genius ways to escape the convention center. You have two great options to make it happen.

1. Grab a Ride: If you want a quick escape, a short Uber or Lyft ride opens up a world of delicious dining options around Shreveport. It's a convenient way to get a fresh perspective before heading back into the excitement of the convention.

2. Take a Walk: For those who don't mind a short stroll and want to keep their car parked, there are plenty of great walkable destinations downtown. A short walk in the heat is a small price to pay to avoid the hassle of reparking, and it offers a chance to explore some of the local flavor right outside the con.

Whatever you choose, planning a break for a good meal is one of the best ways to ensure you have the energy to enjoy every minute of Geek'd Con.

Geek'd Con will be taking over the Shreveport Convention Center from Friday, August 22nd, to Sunday, August 24th. You can purchase tickets by clicking here.
