“Leverage” fans from around the world will descend on the city for the opportunity to meet the team behind TNT’s hit caper series at the show’s one-and-only official fan convention.

The Con-Con is back in action this summer.

Dean Devlin and his team at Electric Entertainment look forward to hosting Con-Con 2011: An Official “Leverage” Event in Portland, OR, from Friday, June 3, through Sunday, June 5.

“Leverage” fans from around the world will descend on the city for the opportunity to meet the team behind TNT’s hit caper series at the show’s one-and-only official fan convention.

Last year’s Con-Con drew hundreds of enthusiasts for a series of events at the historic Governor Hotel in downtown Portland. This year’s events will include Q&As with some of the cast; autograph and photo sessions; an evening reception hosted by TNT and an official banquet, to name a few.

The fourth season of “Leverage” is currently in production in the Portland area and will premiere on TNT Sunday, June 26. 

Con-Con 2011 returns to the Governor Hotel, which has been used as a location for several episodes of “Leverage.” Cast members – including Academy Award® winner Timothy Hutton (Nathan Ford), Beth Riesgraf (Parker), Gina Bellman (Sophie Deveraux) and Aldis Hodge (Alec Hardison) – are scheduled to attend.

In addition, executive producer Dean Devlin (producer of Independence Day, The Patriot and The Librarian trilogy) and creators/executive producers John Rogers (Transformers) and Chris Downey (The King of Queens), the creative minds behind the series, are set to be on hand to take part in panel discussions and Q&A sessions. More guests will be announced in the coming weeks.

Ticket packages are currently available for purchase. Autograph and photo op tickets are also available at a separate cost.
