From the organizers:

Ba-Con (pronounced BEY-kahn) is a general geek/cyberculture convention seasoned with a bit of trade show and packaged in a fun, tasty bacon exterior. Ba-Con is for open-source tech enthusiasts, late-night gamers, bacon lovers, Twitter fanatics, YouTube video producers, makers, hobbyists, hackers, and all geeks in between. Ba-Con is simultaneously going to be about the underlying social media outlets that bring “all of us geeks” together and the celebration of those particular interests.

Guests for Ba-Con 2011 include Matt Sloan and Aaron Yonda of Blame Society Productions (of Chad Vader fame), J.C. Brazil (aka JC or Lunch Lady Steve), and James Hatton (webcomic creator). More guests will be announced at the convention gets closer.

One of the events at Ba-Con will be The Big Bacon Brunch. For $20, guests will be treated to a buffet of breakfast and lunch items, along with “some special bacon treats”. The convention guests of honor will also be in attendance.
