About ConnectiCon

ConnectiCon is a membership based, educational organization dedicated to creating awareness of, and appreciation for, video games, anime, comics, games (board games, CCG’s, RPG’s, LARP, miniature wargaming), science fiction, fantasy, horror, and related genres.

This mission is accomplished primarily through the presentation of conventions and events that celebrate the historic and ongoing contribution of the represented genres to art and culture.

Our organization seeks to satisfy its mission through hosting an annual convention, ConnectiCon, at the Connecticut Convention Center, located in Hartford, CT each summer.

Utilizing over 300,000 sq. ft. of meeting, exhibit and pre-function space. The convention offers over 7,000 hours of events, featuring guest speakers, informational panels and workshops, interactive events for all members to enjoy including performances, dances, tournaments, games, and other program items that our members might enjoy.

ConnectiCon’s volunteer-based staff puts in hundreds of hours each year in event planning and programming, so that our members have not just an educational experience, but an exciting and fun experience as well.

Additionally, ConnectiCon hosts Member Appreciation Days at our offices in Newington, CT on the 2nd Saturday of each month. These events are 12-hours long and provide a more low-key, laid back atmosphere than the convention. Members generally find it a good way to hang out and share their hobby with one another on a more personal level, as well as the chance to directly interact with staff members, and help make our annual convention, ConnectiCon, a better event.

ConnectiCon is a volunteer-run organization. Without the help of our volunteers and volunteer staff, ConnectiCon would be unable to sustain its mission.
