Penguicon Information

Penguicon is a three-day event where we all learn from each other (as well as from our Guests of Honor) about hacking, building sci-fi universes, soldering, painting miniatures, gaming, coding, music, incredible costumes, and more. Our two pillars are Science Fiction and Open Source, but we cover as many diverse nerdy interests as possible. We have a consuite with free soda, coffee, munchies and other real food, which makes it easier on your budget. You can find all kinds of original artwork and non-commodity crafts in our enormous Maker Market. Over 1,300 nerds, geeks, and fans attend Penguicon every year to celebrate and share in what we all love. We are an all-volunteer, not-for-profit convention which brings together every kind of geek - software developers, moviemakers, authors and their fans, hackers, foodies - for a weekend of sharing in panels, workshops, and parties. Dozens of people work on the convention throughout the year, for no more than a pat on the back as people come 'home' to Penguicon each year. Penguicon has helped people collaborate on new art projects, meet life-long friends and change careers.
