NostalgiaCon is the first ever annual pop culture convention dedicated to the celebration of decades past and the icons and events that defined them. In today’s world, we see more than ever the power of nostalgia and its infinite cultural reach.
NostalgiaCon’s Ultimate 80s Reunion will capture this phenomenon like never before, inviting like-minded fans of all ages to rediscover these 10 iconic years in fresh, fun and innovative ways. Anchored in Anaheim, CA, over two days, The Ultimate 80s Reunion consists of film and TV show reunions, pop culture sessions, celebrity meet and greets, breakdance and lip synch battle competitions, and a massive expo for activations featuring everything from movies, TV, fashion, food, sports, video games, collectibles, cars, and of course, music.
The music of the 80s is as vital today as it was then, and we’ll prove it with two concert nights featuring the biggest, most influential artists of new wave, heavy metal, pop rock, and hip-hop.
NostalgiaCon isn’t just a recap – it’s a renaissance. And it’s unprecedented.
Many fandom conventions span several decades. Some put together tribute concerts and themed cruises. We’re going deeper. The 80s aren’t just a memory, they’re a mindset. So rather than reduce the decade to clichés, catchphrases and greatest hits, we want to explore its deep and lasting cultural impact in a way that’s never been done before. Between the people who lived it the first time around and the millennials who can’t get enough, our demo is both prodigious and passionate. Attendees will be knowledgeable with a deep curiosity and boundless enthusiasm. Our goal is to provide an authentic, immersive and insightful experience that transcends the confines of convention – and the convention center.

Join ‘Bar Chef’ Albert Trummer in Bouley Test Kitchen to learn the elements of a well-made cocktail using different spirits, liquors and elixirs based on health remedies. During this interactive, social event you will learn to stir, shake and speak about 5 cocktails with authority while tasting healthy, decadent hors d’Oeuvres by Chef David Bouley and exploring the Test Kitchen and Chef’s Library.
Understand how organic and biodynamic ingredients harmoniously combine into one delicious drink perfect for summer enjoyment. Under the guidance of Albert, a leading authority on drinks and health, you will craft innovative new cocktails and discover your inner mixologist. Albert uses natural products of purist ingredients; for example, Elderflower is widely recognized by health practitioners as an herbal product with anti-inflammatory low-glycemic health benefits. For 2 cocktails, Albert will mix with Om Champagne Tea – one with Ginger Turmeric and another mixing Om’s Tres Limon kombucha flavors.
It was 1999 when the storied friendship of David Bouley and Albert Trummer took flight. The two paths crossed just before the opening of Bouley’s Viennese-inspired restaurant, The Danube, located then in TriBeca. Bouley had already hired exceptional Austrian chefs and waiters, the one thing missing was an Austrian behind the bar. In walked Trummer, bringing with him his inspired creativity and daring passion for mixology. Bouley watched as Trummer concocted a simplistic, yet piquant cocktail, adorned with gold flecks and an exotic ingredient not yet discovered by Manhattan’s bar community—elderflower.
Thus began a renaissance of drink making in New York, and a companionship for the ages. Trummer’s mission was to create drinks that had never been made before, and with Bouley as the visionary, his kitchen became Trummer’s lab. The pair took mixology from its most basic form–ice and shaking–and turned it into an artform. Trummer cooked his own syrups from scratch, had flowers and other ingredients shipped in from all over the globe, and his Danube creation soon became the signature cocktail of Bouley’s restaurant.
Bouley and Trummer have taken part in over 60 events around the world together. From the Paris Open to entertaining the royal family of Thailand, these two quixotic professionals have spent countless hours enrapturing onlookers with their crafts.
“With David’s knowledge of cuisine and his new style of French cooking, I became inspired by his philosophy on health and his ability to run a successful business,” said Trummer with a fond excitement to his voice, “After all our years of travel together, I learned from him and set out to start my first business.”
