DIYers, Makers and Creators Invited to Immersive Experiences at DIY CON

RX today announced the debut of DIY CON, a first-of-its-kind immersive event celebrating the creativity, confidence and community of modern DIYers. Coming to Dallas Nov. 6-8, 2026, DIY CON will bring together makers, dreamers and doers of all skill levels for three days of hands-on workshops, immersive experiences, interactive brand storytelling and a place for creative connections.

DIY CON will transform the traditional trade show into a polished playground for creativity and connection, says event director Hector Morfin-Chong. Attendees are invited to roll up their sleeves, try out premium tools, learn from leading creators, meet and greet with their favorite home improvement celebrities and leave with the confidence and skills to bring their next project to life.

“DIY CON is not the traditional trade show, but an immersive experience where attendees are the ones who roll up their sleeves and do it themselves,” Morfin-Chong says. “This isn’t about scrolling through finished projects online, but about being the person who dreams it, sketches it and builds projects that come to life. Whether you’re learning to lay tile, refining woodshopping skills or looking to build community in the DIY industry, we want every attendee to walk away inspired and ready to create.”

DIY CON will feature:

• • Hands-On Workshops: From beginner-friendly projects to pro-level builds led by industry experts, professional techniques are shared with playground energy, where getting hands-on and messy means getting better.
  • Maker Meetups: Spaces for collaboration, mentorship and shared creativity with your favorite DIY stars live. Find your project partners and lifelong mentors in a community that celebrates DIY progress over perfection. 
  • Inspiring Keynotes: Stories of transformation from your favorite DIY creators who turned “I wish I could” into “I did.” See tomorrow’s trends today, where industry insiders share the secrets that transform your next project plan.
  • Interactive Brand Experiences: Explore new products and tools designed to make the challenging DIY projects feel fun and within reach with exclusive access to new products curated for real-life projects. 
  • Celebrity Meet & Greets: Meet your favorite TV home improvement stars. 
  • Hands-On Activations: Explore every part of the home, including paint and wall treatments, storage and organization, outdoor living, living spaces, a Kids Zone and the Tool Shed.

“RX Global knows how to create fan-driven experiences that inspire action,” Morfin-Chong says. “From New York Comic Con to Star Wars Celebration, we’ve built cultural moments that connect people and brands. DIY CON will bring that same energy to the world of home improvement.”
