Programming
The convention typically offers an artist alley, contests, cosplay meetups, gaming (arcade, computer, console, tabletop), gaming tournaments, karaoke, masquerade, rave, swap meet, vendor's room, and workshops. SNAFU Con has 24 hour a day programming during the convention. They also hold a free "day zero" event. The Humane Society benefited from 2015's charity auction.
History
In 2014, the Grand Sierra Resort's lower floor housed the convention. The convention in 2015 moved to the Nugget Casino Resort, due to space change issues at the Grand Sierra. Criticism about the 2015 masquerade was due to the long judging deliberations.
