Notes

LepreCon 6 was cancelled three weeks out because of hotel problems. A 'hastily organized relaxicon', AlterCon, replaced it.

Donald A. Wollheim cancelled for health reasons.

LepreCon 20 was cancelled, again because of hotel problems. AlterCon replaced it for a second time.

LepreCon 35 was a fan gathering only as LepreCon, Inc. had already sponsored two regional conventions in 2009, the first North American Discworld Convention and Westercon 62. Folks were tired.

LepreCon 43 and Westercon 70 were the same event, which was branded as ConAlope.

Michael Fett, the original chair of LepreCon 44, planned a radically different event at the Unexpected Art Gallery in March 2018, under the brand of Phoenix Sci-Fi & Fantasy Art Expo. He cancelled this in November 2017 and his resignation from the organisation prompted the election of Woody Bernardi, who moved the event back to June to allow time to build it.

LepreCon 46 was cancelled because of ongoing concerns over the COVID-19 crisis and recommendations from the CDC and ADHS that gatherings should not exceed ten people.

Westercon 62 was branded as FiestaCon.
