This list is sectioned by location, and included with the list is the year the convention was established, as well as the months or dates which the convention are typically held within.
Multi-genre, comic book, furry, gaming, and science fiction conventions are not listed here.
These are notable conventions that have at one time existed, but have either gone on hiatus for more than one year, were merged into other conventions, or have finished operating entirely.
The category conventions fall under are determined by the amount of communication given by convention officials.
Anime conventions disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic are not listed here unless they became defunct.
