PopCon Indy (formerly known as Indy PopCon) is a pop culture convention that has been held at the Indiana Convention Center since 2014.
PopCon Indy came to public recognition on November 18, 2013, when they launched a campaign on Kickstarter with an initial funding goal of $12,000. Funding was successful, with $16,584 being raised by 135 backers. The inaugural PopCon Indy was held on May 30 – June 1, 2014, and had an attendance of 9,000. Indy PopCon 2016 was held on June 17–19 and had an attendance record of 30,000.[1][2][3]
