GottaCon Conventions hosts an annual three day broad spectrum gaming convention in beautiful British Columbia called GottaCon. Our event has seen, on average, 51% growth each year and 500% growth since its inaugural show in 2009. GottaCon celebrates science fiction and fantasy genres, covers many related hobbies and offers a one stop experience for the fans and enthusiasts of those genres. Our 2015 event, called GottaCon 2015, will be our seventh show and will be held February 27 to March 1, 2015.
