CONnections is a one-day, fan-organized, mini-convention that explores the art, mystery, and power of communication in speculative fiction and games. Held on November 15, 2025, at the BCIT Burnaby Campus (Buildings SE02 & SE06), this event invites fans of sci-fi, fantasy, and gaming to dive into a shared exploration of how meaning is made—and lost—across galaxies, dimensions, cultures, and minds.
This year’s theme, Messages Through Time & Space, invites attendees to consider the many forms of connection found in our favourite media:
Whether you’re fascinated by translation, obsessed with cryptic runes, or love the idea of communication breakdowns in interstellar diplomacy, CONnections offers something for you.
Expect a full day of programming, including:
🛠️ Hands-on workshops, panel discussions, and expert speakers
📚 Author readings from local guest writers
🎲 TTRPG and board game lounge
🎨 Vendors selling books, crafts, art, and collectibles
🎭 A casual, cosplay-friendly, vibe where everyone belongs
Who’s it for?
Writers, readers, gamers, artists, cosplayers, creators, and curious fans — all are welcome.
This event continues WCSFA’s proud tradition of hosting conventions for West Coast fandom, reimagined in a focused, one-day format. Whether you’re a con regular or a newcomer, we’d love to CONnect with you.
