This year's Tennocon, Digital Extremes' convention celebrating Warframe, will take place on July 7 at the London Convention Center in London, Ontario, the studio announced today. Tickets will go on sale on February 28, while a $20 "Digital Pack" with a Glyph, Sigil, Armor set, in-game currency, and other items will be available for purchase beginning on April 3.
Tennocon 2018 will feature developer-led panels and workshops, Warframe-related activities, game kiosks, and "a gamut of surprises." Canada Learning Code, an educational program that teaches coding and related skills with a focus on women, the disabled, indigenous youth, and newcomers to the country, will also take part as an official Tennocon partner.
"Partnering with Digital Extremes is thrilling to us because it exemplifies the link between excited first-time coders and a fully-fledged, digital product," Canada Learning Code CEO Melissa Sariffodeen said. "More women than ever are learning technical skills at an earlier age, and our programs guide them to build viable skills and techniques with a can-do attitude. Building this partnership with Digital Extremes opens the doors of our students to a world of opportunities right here in London, Ontario."
