The three-day Walker Stalker Con ends today, but panel discussion and autograph sessions are still being held. And of course exhibitors will still have their tables set up.

The event is being held at the Atlanta Convention Center at AmericasMart, with today's guest panels at the Westin Peachtree Plaza, 210 Peachtree St., Atlanta. The two locations are connected, and are located near MARTA’s Peachtree Center station.

Admission for today will be $35 at the door as long as tickets are still available.
