The Story of RavenCon
RavenCon, first held in 2006 by a passionate group of local fans, is a vibrant Science Fiction and Fantasy convention. Our mission is to provide a dynamic forum where fans and professionals can engage and explore their interests in literature, art, gaming, podcasting, costuming, science, and music. We work hard to provide an action-packed weekend filled with exciting activities for everyone!
Location
RavenCon 2025 will be held at The Virginia Crossings Hotel by Hilton in Glen Allen, VA, a beautiful hotel that’s conveniently located near the intersection of I-95 and 295.
