Armageddon Convention has been running for 20 years in New Zealand (as of 2015) It is a new Zealand owned and operated business. the organisers 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.
