Peli Con was founded by Cory Daigrepont, Clifton Johnston, Tracy Johnston and Corey Bardsley. The first event took place in New Roads, Louisiana at the William H. Scott Civic Center April 29th 2023. The event was created to give something new to the area, while creating smiles to all who attend.

Peli Con 23 had over 35 vendors and guests, including two food trucks and a lemonade stand. People from the surrounding cities and southern states attended. Professional cosplayers hosted & judged a cosplay contest, open to all ages. Many attendees who didn't participate in the contest but still showed up all geared up as if they did. Jamie Ray with Fave Five From Fans Podcast held live interviews with guests and vendors. John Dupont with the Pointe Coupee Banner covered and wrote articles for the banner.

Peli Con 24 will be back with a few improvements to provide more vendors/guests and items. We look forward to hosting panels as well and much more.
