How did KennyCon come to be?

Almost 10 years ago, two friends, Dan and Aaron, decided to pull together a few people and have a board game night. This grew into a monthly board game night, with an attendance of more than 20 people not unheard of. Then, in 2017, Aaron thought, “We should have a board game DAY, instead of just a board game night.” He scheduled it from noon to midnight, and Megagame Day was created. A couple of dozen board gamers came together and had a great day.

The following year, Megagame day was rebranded as KennyCon 2018, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Now, post-pandemic, KennyCon has been resurrected. Aaron talked to Jeremy, a close friend and veteran of many cons, looped in Dan, and pulled together an army of volunteers from the gaming group. As a result, KennyCon was relaunched in 2024…revamped, expanded, and better than ever.
