Con-G
Con-G is a non-profit fan-run multigenre convention, held in February in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. The convention covers many aspects of geek culture, but is primarily a Japanese anime convention. The name Con-G comes from a combination of the words "Convention Guelph" and is a play on words on the Japanese writing system kanji.
Con-G was founded in late 2008 and ran its first convention in February 2009.
