MadCon 2026

Let's MadCon Again!

Return to Wonderland and have a mad time in Fort Wayne Indiana for MadCon September 25-27! Set within Electric Works, a revitalized General Electric factory, join us for an amazing time, in a fantastic venue playing games with friends and strangers.

Enter a whole new world with amazing roleplaying game experiences. Let a new board game tickle your fancy. Miniature games and special events only found at conventions abound. Test your painting skills in the miniature painting competition or learn a new technique at paint and takes. Don't miss out on our vendor hall where local game shops and nerdy vendors present their fabulous wares. Artists and actual plays and awesome people are everwhere. Many of which may surprisingly be based right under your nose.

Intentionally welcoming and inclusive, MadCon seeks to spark new friendships and rekindle joy with your original gaming crew. More information can be found right here or on our Facebook Page.
