MomoCon is a fan convention held in March or May in Atlanta, Georgia.
From its beginning through 2011, it was held on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology; in its first year, MomoCon was held in the Georgia Tech Student Center. In 2011, it was held in Technology Square, from 2012 to 2014 was held in the Atlanta Mariott Marquis, and since 2015 it has been held at the Georgia World Congress Center.
The convention encompasses anime, video games, LARP, webcomics, comics, costuming, card games, board games, science fiction and prop armor construction, among other things.
From 2005 to 2011, there was no entry fee to MomoCon; the convention sold T-shirts and highlight DVDs to fund the next year. Due to rising costs, 2012 was the first year that an admission fee was required.
