ConBravo! was an annual fan-run anime, gaming, and new media convention held during July in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, started in 2010. The convention was created as a multi-genre event which gave it much of its framework, but then began to tout its specialization in the aforementioned areas.[1]
It was notable for the special attention it paid to online personalities,[2] including the first Canadian speaking appearances of Doug Walker, Noah Antwiler, Angry Joe, Nathan Barnatt, and James Rolfe in 2011 and 2012.[3] Further, its 2012 show was the first time Rolfe and Walker had appeared at a convention together,[4] revisiting an online rivalry which saw a boom in popularity for the latter.
Founding and Current Status
The first edition of the convention ran on July 3-4 at the Holiday Inn on Argus Rd in Oakville, Ontario. From there it moved to the Burlington Holiday Inn for 2011 and 2012, before finally finding a long-term venue at the Hamilton Convention Centre in Hamilton, Ontario. The last ConBravo! ran in 2019 and went on hiatus with the COVID-19 lockdown. It has not appeared since and appears to be fully inactive.
