About SFFCon

How did SFFCon come to be?

It goes without saying that 2020 was a difficult year in human history. From the pandemic to wildfires, the world had a trying time.

Sci-fi and fantasy have long been a means of escape for fans. These works pull readers and viewers into an alternative reality where they can follow heroes as they overcome obstacles.

Unfortunately, with the state of the world, most in-person gatherings were canceled in 2020. This left many friends without a gathering place to share in their nerdom and escape the trials of real life.

So, SFFCon was born—something for people to look forward to as a bright point in an otherwise dark year. 2020 marked the first SFFCon, but it was only the beginning.

Mission

To be the definitive SF&F genre virtual convention for creators and fans to share their love of the genre. Leave politics at the door and focus on what unites us.
