A Multi-Fandom Convention for Fans of Science Fiction, Horror, Fantasy, Gaming, Anime, Cosplay, Fan Films, Artist, Celebrities, Comics, Haunting... etc!

Keep checking ConNooga.com for all the latest info!

If you're a gamer, you're going to LOVE ConNooga. Tournaments and open gaming galore in our 6800 sq. ft. gaming area! If you've ever walked into a gaming store and wondered about some of these games, we'll have Game Designers and reps teaching people how to play them.

We're proud to have GameStop/EB Games as our sponsor for our Video Gaming room. All the latest systems along with the hottest new games! Plus we'll have tournaments hosted by the 1337girls. If you ask nicely, they'll be glad to pwn you and make you cry.

15,000 Square Feet of Exhibitors, Artists, Authors, Celebrities, podcasters and Fan Groups!

Like horror? We're bringing in industry pro Leonard Pickel (co-creater of Haunted Attraction magazine and founder of HAuNTcon) to run all of our horror related programming.
Learn haunting techniques for your home haunt or even pick up some tips for the professional haunter. Also, learn some great ways to take your costume to the next level! Loads of panels and workshops!

For those that like Anime, we will have an entire area devoted to all things anime and manga PLUS our first annual Anime Music Video contest!
We're pleased to have Manga artist Chris Hazelton - artist of A Steel Wing Shattered with us. Also, cosplayer extrodinare, Kelldar (Kell Yarwood) will host panels on everything ranging from creating a costume, to playing the part. AND your very own LadyK will be on hand and run some panels (or whatever Sarka has planned for her).

With a 500 seat theater at our disposal, it seems only fitting that we have a FanFilm contest as well! In addition to that, we will be premiering (at least) two new feature films (more on this later).

Workshops, panels, contests, kids programming, and much, much more....
