Investigation Discovery (ID) has announced that its third annual IDCon, an event for ID fans, will take place May 19, 2018, at the Altman Building in New York City. The theme of the event is “Cold Case Confidential.” Tickets, which are $50 each, are now sale at EventBrite. According to ID, all proceeds for IDCon will be donated to New York’s Silver Shield Foundation, an organization which provides educational support to families of firefighters and police officers killed in the line of duty.
ID’s “Scene of the Crime” host Tony Harris will emcee the event for the second year in a row. ID show hosts Joe Kenda (“Homicide Hunter”) and Candice DeLong (“Deadly Women”) will also be in attendance for panel discussions meet-and-greet opportunities. More talent appearances are expected to be announced.
In a statement, Investigation Discovery, American Heroes Channel and Destination America group president Henry Schleiff commented: “IDCon is our annual gift to our self-proclaimed ID Addicts, those superfans who have helped ID become the #1 network for women, and we’re excited to return to last year’s ‘scene of the crime’ to another sold-out crowd with thousands on the waitlist!”
The event, which is expected to sell out quickly to the approximate maximum of 300 people, will once again feature panel discussions, immersive experiences and meet-and-greet opportunities with ID stars.
