Con-G

Con-G is a non-profit fan-run multigenre convention, held in February in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, from 2009 to 2014. 'Con-G' was brought back from the dead starting in 2021 as a virtual online convention Con-G - Geeks@Home in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The convention was originally created as a Japanese anime convention but subsequently covered many other aspects of geek culture, such as Steampunk, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Gaming etc. The name Con-G came from a combination of the words "Convention Guelph" and was a play on words on the Japanese writing system kanji.
