Penguicon is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit convention that brings together geeks of all kinds—software developers, authors, filmmakers, hackers, foodies, and more—for a weekend of panels, workshops, parties, and shared creativity. Every year, dozens of volunteers dedicate their time and passion to make Penguicon a place that feels like “home” for our community.

At Penguicon, connections are made, ideas come to life, and creativity knows no bounds. It’s a space where lifelong friendships are formed, art and business collaborations are born, and careers are reimagined.

If you’re familiar with sci-fi conventions, think of all the features you love—then add:

  • Reliable wi-fi
  • DIY tracks that teach everything from soldering your own badge to hacking game consoles
  • Open-source learning, nerdy cooking, Rock Band, and so much more!

Penguicon inspires people to create, whether it’s art, businesses, or new technologies. Expect surprises around every corner: liquid nitrogen ice cream, dancing robots, hotel room parties, lively debates on world-building and ion drives, gaming tournaments, costume contests, nerdy makers selling their crafts, and an endless supply of caffeine and snacks to fuel the fun.

Still not sure? Check out our video, “What is Penguicon?”, and come join us at one of our monthly Board of Directors meetings, or other community events!

We’ll see you at Penguicon!
