ABOUT
CONpossible is a [semi-immersive] 3-day alternative history and speculative fiction convention that has been held in Atlanta, Georgia since 2024. It is owned and operated by Uchronia Events Corporation, a federally recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit Georgia corporation established in 2023, whose mission is to support educational and community driven events in the Southeastern US.
As our name suggests, CONpossible explores what is possible both within history and our own imaginations, and dares our guests to immerse themselves in alternative possibilities. How might the course of history been altered if a particular historical event had an outcome different from the real life outcome? What if there are realities other than our own, where magic and science evolved side-by-side? That question — What If? — drives the heart and soul of our convention.
CONpossible is 100% fan-owned and volunteer operated. Every member of our team volunteers their time and resources to bringing an amazing experience to fans of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and orientations. Our number one priority is creating a community space where people feel comfortable and welcomed, and we build our program of events around that. There are no corporate fat cats pulling the strings – we are all here for the love of the fandom and our communities, and all earnings from the operation of our events goes straight back into our basic operating costs and community programs.
CONpossible celebrates the creativity and diversity of alternative history and speculative fiction through a variety of maker panels, literature and media programming, costumery, gaming, contests and much more. We are ever-so-much more than Steampunk — We are Everypunk.
THIS YEAR'S THEME
What do we mean when we say CONpossible is a "semi-immersive" 3-day convention? Throughout the weekend there will be a running storyline about Terminus Manor, and the eccentric denizens of this mystical location, complete with a new theme each year to complement the weekend’s entertainment.
The theme for 2025 is “Travel Beyond the Veil!”
When last we left things, attendees had received a mysterious invitation for a holiday weekend getaway to a mansion called Terminus Manor, or The Castle on the Hill. There they were introduced to an odd cast of characters, including the enigmatic Proprietor of the Estate—a man rumored to be mad as a bag of ferrets—and his faithful head butler, The Butler. They revealed to their invited guests that the Manor is powered by a mystery machine that can propel them through time and space to any location they desire. After a fanciful safari to Venus (which turned into an unexpected rescue expedition), the tired but successful occupants of Terminus Manor returned to the Main Hall where they intended to set the mystery machine to take them all home... but as they tried entering the coordinates, a (totally not copyrighted) tall, blond British gentleman in a trench coat informed them that the 6 runes they uncovered during the weekend's Hunt opened a portal to another realm! If they do not close this portal in time, there is no telling what could spill into our mortal realm...
"Travel Beyond the Veil" will touch on Victorian mysticism, mythology, death culture throughout the ages, the intersection between science and magic, and the other worlds that just might exist beyond the veil. Join us for a new mystery, a new Hunt, and a whole lot of fun and folly — but to find out more, you will just have to be there!
