LibertyCon Through the Years
LibertyCon has been around for over thirty years now. It all started with our first show back in 1987.
Below you will find a listing of all the LibertyCon's, including dates, Guests of Honor, the program book covers, as well as downloadable pdfs of the program book for each year (click either the bold LibertyCon year or the program book cover).
Starting with LibertyCon 34, you can also download the pocket program as a pdf to look back at the amazing panels and workshops LibertyCon has had in the past.
