Keycon 42

Keycon is a not-for-profit volunteer run convention, fully run by fans just like you! We are Manitoba’s mixed-media fandom convention. This means we invite fandoms of all types as one big community! It is traditionally held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada on the Victoria Day long weekend, every year since 1982!

It focuses on science fiction, fantasy and related genres in any form. It includes, but is not limited to, writing, visual arts, television and film. In terms of content, we might compare it to a Comic Con or an Anime Con, however the size and the format is actually quite a bit different.

Keycon is a far more personal experience with un-monetized Guest interaction, themed hospitality suites, and a focus on community and connection. This often involves connecting our guests with the fans via informal contact throughout the convention.
