The main focus of TitanCon is Game of Thrones, as there will be panels on the HBO series (filmed in Northern Ireland) and on the original George RR Martin books that started it all.

Actors Miltos Yerolemou, Kristian Nairn and Ron Donachie who play Syrio Forel, Hodor and Rodrik Cassel respectively on the show. One of the storyboard artists, William Simpson, will also be in attendance on the day. Miltos will be holding a workshop on sword fighting.
