What is GenghisCon?

GenghisCon was born from forward thinking uni students' need for a more affordable Science Fiction, Fantasy and Gaming convention. This upcoming Convention is the 24th Convention since it started in 2002.

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!

GenghisCon Community and Volunteers

GenghisCon is organised by a Committee of Volunteers elected by the Members at the Convention AGM each year. The Committee for 2024/2025 is shown below.

The Convention is filled with events, games and activities from the Committee, Volunteers (Minions), Community Groups and Businesses who have supported the Convention over the decades and our Sponsors who run events or support the events everyone gets to enjoy.
