Additional convention tour visits already confirmed for 2012 include San Francisco, CA on July 28-29, and Parsippany, NJ on August 18-19 — both stops will feature Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore), in addition to Wesley and more.

The convention will also include numerous guest appearances, panel discussions, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES–themed parties, screenings of special footage, music, centerpieces, costume and trivia competitions, auctions, autograph-signing sessions, sale of exclusive show merchandise and photo opportunities.

Erin Ferries, VP of Creation Entertainment, said, "THE VAMPIRE DIARIES' fans really lobbied us to be involved and we are excited to bring the cast to the first-ever Official THE VAMPIRE DIARIES Fan Convention. These conventions will allow attendees the opportunity to show off their THE VAMPIRE DIARIES–inspired artwork, costumes, filmmaking and music with thousands of fellow show enthusiasts. While offering fans the chance to interact with their favorite actors from the series, the conventions are equally about gathering with like-minded folks and forming friendships based on a common passion."
