    About Us

    SpoCon was founded in 2008--since then we've had many successful conventions (taking 2015 and 2016 off after WorldCon). We've brought in professionals and panelists from all across the nation, published authors, cutting edge scientists, make-up artists, costumers and so much more.

    Proceeds from SpoCon have allowed us to purchase and donate books back to various Spokane-area schools including West Valley High School, Centennial Middle School, West Valley High School, West Valley School District #363 and East Valley High School.
