Con-G is a non-profit fan-run multigenre convention, held in February in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. The convention was originally created as a Japanese anime convention but now covers many other aspects of geek culture, such as Steampunk, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Gaming etc. The name Con-G comes from a combination of the words "Convention Guelph" and is a play on words on the Japanese writing system kanji.

Con-G ran its first convention in February 2009.

Mascot

Kon, the Con-G mascot, is a cartoon Japanese dragon. He is green with a white belly and a purple mane, and is often depicted holding a calligraphy brush. He was created for Con-G by artist Lindsay Pattillo.
