"In the modern age of email and virtual communications, people are more than ever looking to come together face to face. Virtual communication can never replace live contact with other human beings. At NexusCorp, we create events which give people the opportunities to build relationships which are the basis of strong communities."
-Michael Whitehouse, Founder and Owner, NexusCorp

NexusCorp is an event running group led by Michael Whitehouse, who boasts over 10 years of experience planning a variety of different events. We run events that bring people together, where the connections can be made to create the fandom events of tomorrow.
Current NexusCorp Events In Production
NexusCorp runs its own line of events known as Nexus Events. These events are all built around the principle of bringing people together for good times and meeting good people. We are always looking for people to help run these great, community events. Volunteers can get free admission, lodging, and even free food at some events. For more information on upcoming events and volunteer needs, visit our Volunteer Page.
