GenghisCon was born from forward thinking uni students' need for a more affordable Science Fiction, Fantasy and Gaming convention.
It all started in 2001, when a group of students got together to try to plan an affordable fun-filled convention – nothing in Perth filled that niche and people were getting restless about events becoming more expensive and commercial.
Since then, GenghisCon has been running a yearly sci-fi and fantasy convention in January. We host a range of activities at GenghisCon, including panels, workshops, cosplay, board gaming, RPGs, video gaming and more!
We look forward to seeing you at future GenghisCon events!

Know someone who would enjoy the convention but they do not have the finances to purchase a ticket ?
Nominate them for a Fans Funding Fans ticket.
All nominations will be held in the strictest confidence by the Committee as will the 'Reason for Nominating' field.
Our community has been hugely supportive of this fundraising designed to pay for a number of full weekend passes for members of the community who might not otherwise be able to afford to participate.
This initiative originated in part from "Hackers Funding Hackers" (as described in Computer Science Illuminated, p270), which is actually the Open Source Hardware Bank.
