ConnectiCon

ConnectiCon is a multi-genre pop culture convention held annually in Hartford, Connecticut. Established in 2003 by Matthew Daigle and Briana Benn-Mirandi, it is Connecticut's longest running pop culture convention.

Initially a three-day event, ConnectiCon's popularity led to an expansion in 2014, transforming it into a four-day event from Thursday to Sunday.
