Q-Con

Q-Con is a gaming convention organised annually by the Queen's University Belfast Dragonslayers Gaming Society. It is a not-for-profit event organised by the Dragonslayers Society to promote gaming in Belfast, Northern Ireland and beyond. It is one the largest games conventions in Ireland, with attendence having quadrupled in the last 5 years.

Q-Con is a multiformat convention, with events including role playing, LARPs, war games, board games, collectable card games, console games, PC LAN, arcade machines, anime screenings, cosplay, scifi & fantasy screenings, charity events and other special events. A highlight of Q-Con in recent years has been Qnightmare, a full re-creation of the cult TV show Knightmare.

Q-Con XV took place on 27-29th June 2008, in the Queen's University Belfast Students' Union. It had an attendence of over 800, confirming its status as Ireland's biggest games convention. Highlights included a very successful Cosplay Masquerade and Rock Band LIVE in the Mandela Hall.
