Australian Convention Calendar 2026

Your favourite ultimate convention guide is back, bigger, brighter, and bursting with the kind of energy that makes your lanyard collection tremble. Whether you’re a tech wizard, a pop-culture tragic, or an unashamed anime fiend, we’ve scoured the galaxy (okay, the internet) to compile every con (we could find so far) worth plotting into your calendar.

Get ready to navigate the labyrinth, uncover the weird and wonderful, and level up your inner convention connoisseur. The only thing missing is your cosplay.
