Hey folks! We’ve got a few big announcements for you regarding Con-G Season 5 next year!
First off, Con-G is moving to a larger venue! We are going to be at the Delta Guelph Hotel & Conference Centre! Located at 50 Stone Road in Guelph, the Delta provides a larger, more open location for Con-G.
Full details regarding hotel booking will be up on the site soon.
What could top that news, you ask?
[drumroll]
Con-G is going to be THREE DAYS in 2013!
That’s right, Con-G Season 5 will be held February 22, 23 and 24, 2013!
You asked for it and we delivered! Three days of Con-G awesomeness and fun! We are super excited about this, and we hope you are too!
Early bird registration will open October 1, 2012. We are going to be offering super special discounted pre-registration at both Anime North and ConBravo! this summer! Stop by our booth at Anime North or at ConBravo! and get a membership for all three days of Con-G Season 5 for only $20 cash!
Over the next few weeks the website will be updated with the details for Con-G Season 5. Stay tuned!
Con-G Season 4 has now come and gone, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went.
THANK YOU to each and every one of you who attended this year! You are the heart of the convention, and everything we do is for you!
We broke 1000 this year, woo-hoo! Our official attendance was 1015!! Wow! We are amazed and honoured that so many people attended Con-G Season 4. Thank you all so, so much.
Thank you to all the fabulous guests, artists, and dealers for making our fourth year such a great success. A big thank you to our volunteers and to everyone who helped out with various tasks and to everyone who participated in our many events through out the weekend. A huge thank you to our sponsors Game Asylum, Queen of Hearts Costumes, and Neo Tokyo.
This year we had not one, but two great voice actors: Andrea Libman and Kyle Hebert! We also had our first international guests: JewWario and Marzgurl! Thank you all for being so wonderful!

Please take our feedback survey! It will only take a minute of your time, and will help us make things even better for everyone at Con-G Season 5 next year! Click the big red button below to take the survey.
This year, Con-G stepped into the 21st century with QR code ticketing!
Please display your ticket on your smartphone (be green!) or print it out and bring it with you when you arrive at Con-G to sign in.
Tickets were sent automatically as soon as your payment was processed (usually instantly) to the email you entered on the registration page.
However, if you did not receive your ticket (or if it went into your spam folder and was deleted), you can certainly still get into Con-G!
Bring along your payment confirmation, and we can look you up manually! The QR codes are for speeding up the pre-reg lineups and getting everyone into the convention faster, but they are not the only way. We can still rock it old-school!
We can’t wait to see everyone at Con-G tomorrow morning!!
DJ Janos, the resident DJ of ConBravo’s DanceBravo Saturday night dance party has been DJ’ing for the better part of a decade, helping to craft dancefloors all over the GTA, and more recently, at Montreal’s Otakuthon.
Although not a newcomer to DJ’ing, he is a newcomer on the Convention DJ scene, but has managed to turn every con-dance into a dance-frenzy.
His style of blending current dance music and staples of the con-dance scene have led to perfect dance parties each time.
His only goal is that of ensuring everyone has the best time possible. Every year he hopes to out-do himself, so we’ll see what he has in store for Con-G’s Dance Party this year!
He’s been getting ready for Kon’s Dace Party, and he’s a little teaser mix of what he’s got in store for you!

Fresh off the heels of their feature film, “Cosplayers”, Linkwise comes to you with a never before seen short in a series that picks up where the movie left off.

Little is known about the Savage Bandito’s origin… because if anyone asks they are treated to a long, boring story that truly doesn’t make any sense.
The facts: he appears like a rotund puff of smoke and leaves comedic videos and photos in his wake.
Somehow he’s made over 150 episodes of The Savage Bandito Show and will likely shoot like 5 more at Con-G.
Tom will be making a guest appearance at Con-G Season 4, February 25-26, 2012.

Con-G guest Christian Potenza makes a visit to a friend’s tiny little office. You may have heard of him; a certain famous YouTube personality by the name of FLuffee!
That’s right, both Christian Potenza and Fluffee will be appearing at Con-G this year! Woo! Come on out and see them both (plus all our other super amazing guests!)
Devin “Featherweight” Harrigan
A wizard from the distant galaxy of boxtron-7, Featherweight fell though an interspace tunnel while saving a space orphanage form the deadly zark-beast.
Now trapped on earth he must make his way though the world the only way he knows how, WITH THE POWER OF CARDBOARD! (he also makes puppets but that’s a whole other story) Check out http://www.featherweightcreations.com
Featherweight will be making a guest appearance at Con-G Season 4, February 25-26, 2012.

Kudrel is a Master level cosplayer and costume accessory designer from Ottawa, Ontario. She got into cosplaying back in 2004; attending the first AC-Cubed, and has been hooked ever since.
She’s won over 10 awards for her costumes including Best in Class in several divisions and Best in Show. She has also had the pleasure of starting her own line of costume accessories called Steampixie.
She strongly wants to inspire other cosplayers to push their limits and not be afraid of being different. Cosplay is about having fun and empowering yourself. It’s about being an artist and being free to accomplish anything and everything.
Oh, and one last thing: Caffeine and anything purple are her most favourite things!
Kudrel will be making a guest appearance at Con-G Season 4, February 25-26, 2012.
