Geek.Kon

Geek.Kon Wisconsin's convention to celebrate anime, costuming, gaming, sci-fi and all things geek! Join us September 13-15, 2019 at the Madison Marriott West!

As Madison, Wisconsin's convention for "all thing geek," Geek.Kon offers fans of many genres a fun, safe environment to enjoy, share, and indulge in their fandoms while learning about and participating in others easily. Geek.Kon features large event spaces dedicated to gaming. Its 10,000 square foot video game room is filled with free-to-play arcade machines, a LAN area for PC gaming, and both mod

ern and classic console systems. The tabletop room has space for both open gaming and demos for RPGs, CCGs, and board games. Tournaments for both video games and tabletop games are held throughout the weekend. Every year, Geek.Kon brings in several guests, including authors, game designers, voice actors, comic artists, and musicians. They, and many attendees, provide panels related to TV shows, anime series, movies, books, gaming, and topics such as writing or larger issues that transcend genre. In addition, vendors and artists pack a 10,000 square foot exhibit hall selling merchandise, art and apparel. Throughout the weekend, Geek.Kon holds several big events. The Masquerade is the state's only costuming contest recognized by the International Costumers Guild. Music events include The Mixer, a late-night high-energy dance featuring multiple DJs, a Masked Ball that raises money for a local charity, and the Rock Show, featuring live music from local bands. Geek.Kon has several other unique events, including Kon.Quest (a series of puzzles and challenges that test your wits), the Iron Butt Challenge (a marathon of three horrible sci-fi movies, with a prize for anyone who sits through all of them), contests for music videos and fanfiction, and free screenings of hit movies, sci-fi shows and anime.

It is with deepest regret that we must announce the cancellation of the 2019 Geek.kon Convention.

Over the years, the staff of Geek.kon have always enjoyed putting our best effort into bringing as much geek culture as we could into one place and sharing it with our attendees. Geek.kon could not be what it was without everyone's love and desire to share our passions with each other.

However, in the last couple of years, Geek.kon has found itself struggling with issues both financial and internal. At the end of the 2017 convention year, it was looking as if a following year would not be possible. Despite last year's change in management and consultation of business professionals in hopes of repairing the damage done in previous years, the flooding in 2018 a week before the convention was the final blow.

After exhausting what options we had available, it was concluded that Geek.kon 2019 was not viable. As such, we plan to take a year off, re-evaluate, restructure and hopefully come back better than ever. We will be working as quickly as possible to refund all attendees, artists, and vendors who had pre-paid for the 2019 year

Again, we are deeply sorry about having to cancel this year's convention and any unfulfilled expectations this may cause. Even without our event this year, we hope people will continue to share their geeky passions with one another and continue to loudly and proudly 'Get Your Geek On!'

We at Geek.kon share in mourning the loss of a legend, a man who has brought us many tales of heroism and sparked the imaginations of those young and old over the years.

"EXCELSIOR!", Stan Lee. You were our hero as well and shall be missed.
