ConnectiCon was founded by University of Hartford students in 2002, with the first convention taking place in 2003. The “multi-genre pop culture convention” has been at the Connecticut Convention Center for the last ten years.
This year, clearly marked gender neutral restrooms were provided in addition to the gender-specific ones. Given ConnectiCon’s offering of workshops and panels on topics of gender stereotypes, the facility change is a natural next step.
A child-friendly area this year made the conference more inclusive to guests with families.
