-**AmatoCon** is an upcoming convention and executive development program hosted by [[amatogroup]] taking place in [[wp>Rialto, California]], from March 8--10, 2024.

 Executive packages were available on [[https://amatocom.com|amatocom.com]]. The site was supposedly down due to alleged hacking attacks,[(cite:heinews1>[[heinews#emergeny_hack_attack_regarding_amatocon_january_24_2024|EMERGENY HACK ATTACK REGARDING AMATOCON. HEI News. January 24, 2024.]])] though it was ultimately revealed to be an error regarding the site URL, having been initially reported as amatoco**n**.com.
+Event organizer [[tim|T. Amato]] had high hopes for the event, with The Amato Group leader [[gamato]] promising T. a 2018 Dodge Charger if the convention was a success. However, following various issues, celebrity cancellations, and the inclusion of [[toni]], G. Amato referred to the event, and T.'s effort, as a failure. With T. swiftly cutting ties with The Amato Group (following a violent altercation with [[joey]] and accusations of murder), it is unlikely that another AmatoCon will occur in 2025.
 ===== Tiers =====
-AmatoCon tickets are sold in 4 separate tiers, each offering different levels of access. Most of the tiers sold out quickly, save for the Live Stream Access tier.
