BottosCon's are a series of local gaming conventions  in the Greater Vancouver area. The very first BottosCon was held in November 2007 and has continued to grow in popularity every year since. Beginning in 2025 we added a 3 day Spring event to compliment our November event, and in 2026  we have added   3 day Winter event. 

BottosCon's are an inclusive event where friend's, couples, and family are able to come together to enjoy our shared passion. Attendees range from novice gamer's to veteran grognards. The overriding purpose of BottosCon is for people to come out, make friends, play games, and have fun, and build community.  To that end, we have been very successful. 

Our focus will be on gaming, not structure. BottosCon is an opportunity to play some great games, whether they be War, Euro, RPG, or Miniatures and make some new friends.  

The majority of the games are arranged between players ahead of time, but there is always room for drop ins and pick up game. 

Our game swap table has been a resounding success, so if you have a few games you're looking to sell or trade, please bring them along and there will be space to display your wares. 

Through our registration process we take up a collection for the Tri City Share Society Foodbank.  To date we have raised just over $3000 since we began collecting donations in 2018. BottosCon will always be a convention with a social conscience.

Thank you
