History

The first U-Con was actually called Michi-Mini Con, held in spring of 1989, followed by the first U-Con in the fall of 1989.  Conventions from 1989-2010 were held at the University of Michigan Michigan Union.  In 2011 we moved the convention to a local hotel.  We are the largest and longest-lasting gaming-focused convention in Michigan.

U-Con has been made possible by many dedicated volunteers over the years.  The con was run for 23 years by student organizations, the Wolverine Gaming Club and the U-Con Gaming Club.  In 2012, the leadership of U-Con founded a non-profit organization to organize the convention.

If you want to get involved in organizing the convention, please start by becoming a volunteers.  We hope the convention lasts for many seasons to come!
