With TFNation 2023 just around the corner, we're excited to bring you our schedule of events!

Friday is our panel room-only day; all panels will take place in the Kings Suite, whilst the TFN Construct-a-Cons are busy building the trader hall for the following days.

Whether you're interested in the Transformers toy design process, Gunpla building, or even dinosaurs, Friday has something for you! With key contributions from some of our guests of honour, a live episode from a podcast team you might recognise, and our much-loved movie night, Friday at TFNation is a full day of entertainment before the weekend's toy collecting begins.

On Saturday and Sunday, the mighty Monarch Suite is transformed into Europe's largest Transformers trading hall. Whether you're after vintage collectibles, main line figures, or anything inbetween, our Trader room has you covered!

Away from the Monarch Suite, the panels continue all weekend in the Kings Suite, with a variety of interesting talks and presentations planned for the weekend – maybe we'll even sprinkle in a surprise or two? Popular guest Susan Blu is scheduled to take part in panels on both days, so as many TFNationals as possible can hear her stories.

ClubCon is always a highlight of TFNation. This Saturday evening add-on is an entertainment event like no other! With an ever-transforming lineup, previous ClubCons have played host to various types of entertainment such as our annual cosplay competition, script readings, comedy routines, quizzes and musical performances. Not to mention the odd surprise!

This year's ClubCon will play host to the ever-popular Matrix Test, featuring Transformers: The Basics youtuber and official Transformers Historian, Chris McFeely!

ClubCon with close with a live musical performance by Julia "Jayhan: Handschin. This seated concert will feature a mixture of original pieces inspired by the Transformers, as well as some well-known cover songs, along with a few numbers from her extensive portfolio.

With so much packed into one weekend, we can't wait to welcome you to TFNation 2023 – Where All Are One!

TFNation will take place from 11th – 13th August 2023, at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, UK. Tickets are available now.

(All schedule items and times are subject to change. All segments are subject to room capacity. All Transformers are wonderful; except Whirl.)
