A regional convention held in Columbus, Ohio, from 1966 and originally sponsored by OSFS, the Olentangy SF Society. Starting around 1996, it was sponsored by a 501(c)3 organization called the SOLAE Foundation, the Science Oriented Literature and Arts Education Foundation, which also ran other, one-shot conventions. It announced in March 2022 that it was shutting down following Marcon 57, held in May, 2022. However, a 2023 Marcon was subsequently held.
Marcon allegedly stands for "Multiple Alternative Realities Convention," a back formation; the name was initially chosen to reflect the month, March, in which it was originally held. Early cons were held in Toledo, OH.
