This article is about the convention on Long Island. For other science fiction conventions named "ICON" or "Icon", see List of ICON science fiction conventions.
I-CON (short for "Island CONvention") began as a (roughly) annual fan convention, held on various college campuses in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York. First held in 1982 on the campus of Stony Brook University, I-CON became a very eclectic convention. The programming included things normally found at different types of convention, like speeches by and talks with science fiction authors, extensive gaming, anime fandom, comics fandom, furry fandom, multiple movie showings, and medieval programming, as well as live performances. There was also a science track discussing recent developments in various branches of science and exploring the real science behind science fiction technologies. I-CON was jointly held by ICON Science Fiction, Inc., a tax-exempt educational foundation, and the I-CON Campus Chapter of Stony Brook.
In 2023, the organization began to re-vision itself. The logo changed from the original dragon logo, now associated with the legacy conventions, to one incorporating a Phoenix, as a symbol of the con's rebirth. Instead of one large convention,the organization began experimenting with a series of smaller events in various locations across the island.
History
I-CON was preceded by SUNYcon (April 14, 1973), Mudcon (May 8, 1977), and Brookcon (October 28–30, 1977), held on the Stony Brook campus.
In the spring of 2012, I-CON was informed that the Stony Brook Sports Complex would be unavailable due to construction in 2013. ICON Science Fiction, Inc. scouted several possible locations on Long Island as an alternative venue, eventually entering into an agreement with Hofstra University. Due to many compounding issues including finances and delays caused by Hurricane Sandy, the board decided to postpone I-CON 32, with plans to raise funds via smaller events and return in 2014, but made no announcements about future dates.[1]
I-CON ran smaller conventions, LI-CON, in 2014 and 2015, at other venues on Long Island.
