Politicon was an annual, non-partisan political convention in the United States.[1] Politicon's vision was to bring "Republicans, Democrats, and people of all political stripes together to banter and spar over the most topical issues in smart and entertaining ways that often poke fun at both sides of the aisle."[2] It has been called the "Comic-Con of politics"[3] and the "Coachella of politics".[4]
It was first held in Los Angeles in 2015, with the last one held on October 26–27, 2019, in Nashville, Tennessee, at the Music City Center.[5][6] It eventually dissolved in 2022.
