WELCOME TO RENCON!WELCOME TO RENTON CITY COMIC CON!Renton City Comic Con AKA RenCon is a celebration for comic book geeks, technophiles, cosplayers, and nerds of all ages! It is a place where you can buy your favorite comic book, find that collectible you have been looking for, and purchase a t-shirt that proudly displays your geekdom! It is a place to listen to the latest from leading science gurus, attend a panel on robots, listen to the making of your favorite podcast and hang out with the stars!

Mostly it is a place where anyone and everyone can come enjoy a weekend of family fun and let your inner child come out to play!
RenCon has been created by a few fun-loving individuals who live in Renton and the Renton Chamber of Commerce. We are a team of passionate volunteers that endeavored to create a place and an event where we could spread and cultivate the nerd culture in South King County year after year. We look forward to growing & enjoying all that it has to offer for the young, the old, families, nerds, and geeks alike. We are artists, theater buffs, web designers, photographers, podcasters, social media managers, business people, CEOs, mom’s and dad’s, kids, and family.
