JordanCon is a Science Fiction/Fantasy literature convention founded in honor of Robert Jordan, author of the Wheel of Time. Taking place each April in Atlanta, GA, JordanCon is a tax exempt 501(c)(4) non-profit organization, whose proceeds benefit the Mayo Clinic.
It’s time to start the countdown to JordanCon 2025!
Mark your calendars for April 25–27, 2025, for the 17th annual JordanCon: The Con of Ravens. Start planning now so you can shake a tailfeather at the dance party. (How many people in all black will it take to make an unkindness of ravens?)
Author Guest of Honor: Sheree Renee Thomas
Artist Guest of Honor: Oksana Nedavniaya
Toastmaster: Gerald L. Coleman
Watch the JordanCon social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.), Discord channel, and blog for important announcements and fun information about the upcoming JordanCon.
We’re so looking forward to welcoming you home in 2025.
