WinchesterCon, commonly known as Wincon, is an annual fan-run convention which first took place in October 2006 and was the first Supernatural Convention to be held. The organisers described it like this:

Wincon is a by the fans, for the fans operation. Our goal is to provide an annual gathering for Supernatural fans to come and meet, hang out, discuss the show and the fic written about it, party and have a good time. In other words, a giant slumber party where we can all do the fannish things we do online in person and in our pajamas. No one from the show is affiliated with this convention, nor will there be any appearances by any show actors, writers, or other personnel.


WinchesterCon features panels discussing aspects of the show and the fandom, big screen viewings of recent episodes, a fan vid show, and primarily plenty of opportunities for fans to meet and socialize in places like the Wincon Roadhouse. It's focus is particularly on the creative aspects of fandom, and the culture of online fandom. Each year the Convention supports a different charity through its raffle. It attracts attendees from the US and Canada as well as Australia, Europe and the UK.

In 2010, the convention became a panfandom event celebrating fan culture, and officially changed the name from WinchesterCon to Wincon.
