Back in September, Dwayne Johnson AKA The Rock announced that he'll be teaming up with Dany Garcia, the co-founder of their production company, Seven Bucks Productions, for a new convention called Athleticon, which will take place in Atlanta later this year. The wrestler turned actor boasts that the event will be the first of its kind, and recently took to Instagram to share a video promoting it. In the clip, Johnson and Garcia discuss the "immersive" and "experiential" con, which is taking place at the Georgia World Congress Center. The video boasts that Athleticon will feature "the best of athletics," "wellness," and "entertainment." The ad also teases special guests, but they have yet to announce who will be on the line-up.

According to CNN, Johnson and Garcia both issued a statement about the con last year:

"We've always been committed to fitness and health -- it's what sustains us mentally and physically," Johnson explained. "Creating Athleticon is a natural extension of everything we do for our global audience who are connected to the people and brands that inspire them. Whether you're at the peak of your fitness game or fighting for every gain, I can't wait to see your transformative journey at Athleticon."

Garcia added, "We are going to help to bring the best of this world to [people] so that you want to come in. It's so we can empower people. At the end of the day, we're really just trying to make people happier and healthier."
