VCON is the oldest general-interest science fiction and fantasy convention in Canada and the Pacific Northwest. The convention has promoted the interests of science fiction and fantasy fan culture in Vancouver BC and its environs since 1971, offering events and exhibits focused on a variety of Science Fiction and Fantasy fandom interest areas such as literature, art, media, music, costumes, comics, games, etc.
VCON is organized by a subcommittee of the West Coast Science Fiction Association — a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement and understanding of science fiction and fantasy fan culture in Vancouver BC and its environs. VCON is not, nor will it ever be, owned by a big business or corporation. For now and for as long as efforts continue VCON will be a convention built "For the Fans, By the Fans". We invite all fans to get more out of their convention experience by getting involved:
- Check out our Online Forums!
- Sign up to Volunteer!
- Build a costume for the Masquerade!
- Register for our Writers' Workshops!
- And so much more!
Whoever you are,
Whatever your science fiction or fantasy interest,
VCON has what you're looking for!
