ITHACON™ began in 1976, and has been held every year since. Over all those years, ITHACON™ has maintained a primary focus on comic books, although we welcome those from related fandoms. ITHACON™ is now organized and run by the students in the Ithaca College School of Business course MGMT 29800 ITHACON: Promoting and Managing Conventions. ITHACON™ has continued to be run as a fan convention, by fans and for fans. It also provides lots of community service and volunteer credit to Ithaca students. The many guests we have each year means that the members can actually chat with the guests rather than wait in line for a brief photo op. If you want to experience a comic con as they were in the 1970's, come to ITHACON™!
