About Us

FreeCon is a free-entry convention that has been running for 15 years now. We are Tallahassee’s premier anime and gaming convention, all while serving as a welcoming place to fans of any genre or franchise. FreeCon hosts events such as our Maid Cafe, Cosplay Contest, a Video Game Room, Panels, and so much more! We also invite talented Media Guests each year, including respected voice actors from your favorite shows. Every year we strive to provide our wonderful attendees with the best experience we can give them.

This school year, FreeCon 16 will be held from February 29 through March 1 on FSU’s campus. In past years, we filled up the Oglesby Student Union to capacity with over 2,000 participants per day. However, due to the construction of the new student union, our new location for this year is the Student Services Building (SSB) & the Center for Global Engagement (the Globe).

FreeCon is staffed by dedicated volunteers who work the entire year in advance to ensure the convention’s success. We strive to be a positive outlet for both local Tallahassee businesses and other organizations that represent our appreciation of alternative culture. If you are interested in joining the convention staff as a Volunteer, hosting a Panel, sponsoring us as a local business, or purchasing a table in our Vendor’s Hall and Artist Alley, please follow the appropriate links or Contact Us.
