About VCON
VCON is a weekend-long combination of playing, learning, brainstorming, and partying.
We don't limit ourselves to one area of science fiction and fantasy experience. We celebrate the whole spectrum, which includes:
- literature and writing
- art
- movies and TV
- models and collectables
- gaming (video games, cards, board games, role playing)
- cosplay
- comics & graphic novels
- music
- history and trivia
- astronomy, space programs past and present, unusual science
We also like to explore the glue that holds it all together: us. Not just VCON (although we’d like to think we do our share) but all those with an interest for what lies beyond the status quo of reality.
VCON is parented by the West Coast Science Fiction Association(WCSFA).
About the West Coast Science Fiction Association
The West Coast Science Fiction Association (WCSFA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement and understanding of science fiction and fantasy fan culture in Vancouver, BC and its environs. WCSFA combines education and entertainment in the events it sponsors, most notably VCON.
WCSFA was incorporated as a legally registered society in the province of British Columbia January 26th, 1993. It replaced WCSFCCA (the Western Canadian Science Fiction Convention Committee Association), which had fulfilled the same function for the previous 10 years.
All members of the most recent and upcoming VCONs and of the British Columbia Science Fiction Association (BCSFA) are automatically members of WCSFA.
