A regional convention held in Portland, OR, usually in November, sponsored by OSFCI since 1978. On November 3, 2022, it was announced that it would go on hiatus after Orycon 42; however, after the virtual Or-E-Con 2 in 2022, they went back to in-person cons with Orycon 43 in 2023.
(The committee who organized the first Orycon was unaware of the previous year's (failed) Orcon to have been held in Eugene, OR.)
