What is VisionCon?

Mission Statement:

VisionCon, INC is a 501(3)c nonprofit organization with a passionate belief that we all have a responsibility to contribute charitable activities to help improve the local community.

About VisionCon:

Originally founded in 1990, today VisionCon is Southwest Missouri's premier pop culture convention. If you are a fan of it, you’ll probably find it here. This family-friendly convention features comic books, science fiction, fantasy, cosplay, live action role playing, gaming, and so much more! As a nonprofit organization solely run by volunteers, VisionCon is put on every year so that fans can get together and have some fun while also raising money for local charities. Thousands of people attend annually and we would love for you to be one of them! Join us at the Springfield Expo Center in downtown Springfield, MO, and get your geek on!
