  • MediaWest*Con is one of the largest and longest running media-based (TV shows/film) fan-run conventions in the United States. It is held annually over Memorial Day weekend in Lansing, Michigan. The convention emerged in the late 1970s, beginning as T'Con in 1978 and 2'Con in 1979 and taking on the name MediaWest*Con in 1981. MediaWest was the first media fandom convention, and became the focal point for a "media geek" culture that emerged following a split between people who liked all forms of science fiction media, and literary science fiction fans. MediaWest was a convention for people who were fans of Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and many other science fiction media. The con had fan fiction zines, cosplay, filking, plays and skits, and crafts, and was the first time that there was a dedicated place to show fan vids.
