ConnectiCon is a multi-genre pop culture convention held annually in Hartford, Connecticut.[2] Established in 2003 by Matthew Daigle and Briana Benn-Mirandi, it is Connecticut's longest running pop culture convention.[3][4][5]

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.[6]

Events

The convention includes 24-hour screening rooms of full-length features and episodes of classic and modern science fiction and anime titles and sponsorship by GameStop, which also provides consoles for tournament and casual video gaming.[7]

Gaming—including board, card, miniature and role-playing—are featured.[8][9] The convention also features an Artist Alley, an art show, an exhibitor hall, panels and workshops throughout the convention. Additionally, larger events such as a masquerade, Cosplay Chess, Death Match, Dating Game, and Nerd Prom are held. Other entertainment includes artistic guest performances such as from Super Art Fight.
