ConGlomeration[1] was an annual multigenre convention held in or around Louisville, Kentucky, between 2001 and 2019.
ConGlomeration was an all-volunteer non-profit organization which, as part of its convention programming, conducted charitable activities on behalf of the American Cancer Society and Cabbage Patch Settlement House.
The final ConGlomeration, ConGlomeration 2020, was scheduled to be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Louisville on Easter weekend, April 10–12, 2020, but was cancelled due to COVID-19.
[3] A 24-hour staffed game room, a LARP, tracked author programming, a cosplay masquerade competition, a dealer's room, and a genre art auction are regular components of ConGlomeration's official activities.
The convention mascot was a platypus that donned various disguises —- including a giant mecha robot, a homage to Gandalf, and King Kong—for his appearance on the official con T-shirt, which was given to staff and volunteers.
