Retromania, which began as a small flea market for nerds, now fills the entire Conventum in Örebro. Driving force Katarina Kurtanjek sees her dream come true with the event's name on the facade. Despite intense preparations, she greets visitors with a cheerful smile.

Retromania has grown from a small-scale flea market aimed at nerds to a major event now taking place at Conventum, Örebro's convention center. According to Nerikes Allehanda, initiator Katarina Kurtanjek, also known as Kattis, has worked hard on the preparations and stayed up late into the night. Despite the stressful period, she shows no signs of worry when journalists knock on the door.

Kurtanjek expresses great joy over the development: "Now I get to see the name on Conventum's facade." The article, written by Kristina Delin with text and photos by Alexander Lindhe, emphasizes how the event has evolved from its humble beginnings to a significant gathering. No further details on the event's specific content or dates are provided in the source, but the growth is portrayed as a personal milestone for the organizer.
