QueerCon 2024: Saturday, April 27 2024

In 2024, QueerCon was an in-person event with hybrid streamed in-person panelists and talks. We also had performances, game rooms, film, and drag show components. The event was held on April 27th, 2024 in the Academic West building.

From 12 – 5 pm, the all-ages Main Convention Hours included Tabling for vendors, artists, creators, and non-profits included nearly a hundred in-person vendor and organization tables, sparkle photobooth, two food carts, and dozens of in-person and virtual special events, presentations and workshops during the all-ages general convention hours from 12 – 5 pm.

From 5 – 8pm, in-person QueerCon 18+ After-Hours events included a planetarium show, queer horror documentary, queer open mic and poetry reading, and drag show, all held in-person.

Join us at the 6th Annual WWU QueerCon on Saturday, April 30th, 2022

DO IT!! You will not regret it and our world needs more connection to people different from ourselves. - QueerCon 2022 Exhibitor

They should absolutely come because they will not only be supporting student artists and vendors but they will come away with new knowledge about the queer space. QueerCon 2022 Attendee

Spaces like QueerCon are vital to maintaining, promoting and encouraging safe spaces for all to flourish! - QueerCon 2022 Exhibitor

I would say to someone that’s on the fence or nervous about going, to just go for it! Especially as a small creator unsure of how to set up a booth or if they could participate in a con, to put themselves out there. It was a lovely experience that I think that even if you have a small following that it’s a great way to meet people! - QueerCon 2022 Exhibitor

Anyone considering participating, or attending, QueerCon in the future should absolutely do it. They not only will be supporting student artists and their talents, but they will come away learning something new about the passion and talent within the queer community at Western. - QueerCon 2022 Exhibitor

You won't regret it. A truly energizing and jubilant experience! - QueerCon 2022 Exhibitor
