WA Conventions
Western Australia has an active conventions scene, with up to half a dozen convention style events annually. The WASFF has been active in sponsoring and coordinating several of these, including Swancon, SlashCon, Gynaecon, Borderlands, Wastelands, Fandomedia, Night's Edge, and Villaincon. For some years in the early to mid noughties, Genghiscon received WASFF funding and support.
