What is DeCONpression?

DeCONpression is a weekend long party in Columbus, Ohio on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend filled with sci-fi/fantasy fans. Modestly priced tickets are available to the adult public the entire weekend. It is considered a "relaxacon" as opposed to your typical sci-fi convention. DeCon is a calm and relaxed environment to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.

So what happens at DeCON?

We offer a truly unique Vendors room, movies in the movie room, and a few panels and workshops to attend. There are bangin' parties with incredible drink concoctions hosted by the infamous U.B.B. Columbus. Our Consuite always puts out a fun variety of foods including an impressive gluten free selection. You will often find card and board games going on at tables in the Consuite.

So what happens at DeCON?

Unlike your usual con with Guests of Honor we have a Ghost of Honor. We host a midnight swim both Friday and Saturday nights reserved for DeCON attendees only.

So what happens at DeCON?

Saturday morning there is a brunch with trivia to help ease your Friday over indulgence followed by a few creatively selected panels and workshops. Saturday night also brings us a time honored tradition of the "Indentured Servant" role-play auction.

Unique! unComparable! Best party ever!

Sunday is a day of recovery, eating a good meal in the Consuite. Then we end our weekend with a giant drawing, where many fun themed gift baskets and goodies are given away.
