DucKon was an annual science fiction convention held every May or June in the Chicago area between 1992 and 2014.

[1] DucKon served as a fundraiser for Super-Con-Duck-Tivity, a non-profit organization known for creating and administering the Golden Duck Awards for excellence in children's science fiction literature.

[5] Many performances from past DucKons may be seen on YouTube; one, for example, featuring Vixy and Tony with S. J. Tucker and Seanan McGuire.

[6] Among many other musicians who have played at DucKon are Maya Bohnhoff, Ookla the Mok, and Michael Longcor.

After the invention of zeusaphones, the convention for several years hosted performances of large musical Tesla coils in the parking lot of its hotel.
