Costume-Con is an annual conference for science-fiction, fantasy, and historical/living history costumers or anyone else with an interest in costuming, either amateur or professional. While its roots are in those genres, it is also open to cosplay, fursuits and Wearable Arts. One does not need to make costumes to attend.
