CONfabulation is a celebration of fandom by the fans, for the fans. We are the internet in all its glory, come to life. We are a place to get together with old friends, discover new ones, and talk about everything that makes us squee.
Our mission is to bring together a diverse group of internet-based media fans in an inclusive environment, either virtually or in-person, to engage in fannish activities and foster meaningful connections. We aim to provide programming created and led by attendees, on topics drawn from a variety of sources and involving everything from detailed meta to wildly creative fanworks, encompassing all aspects of fandom culture.
