Ba-Con (pronounced BEY-kahn) is a general geek/cyberculture convention seasoned with a bit of trade show and packaged in a fun, tasty bacon exterior. Ba-Con is for open-source tech enthusiasts, late-night gamers, bacon lovers, Twitter fanatics, YouTube video producers, makers, hobbyists, hackers, and all geeks in between. Ba-Con is simultaneously going to be about the underlying social media outlets that bring "all of us geeks" together and the celebration of those particular interests. Follow us on Twitter @ohio_bacon, look us up on Facebook by searching "Ba-Con," or head over to ba-con.org.
Guests will include Matt Sloan and Aaron Yonda of Blame Society Productions (of Chad Vader fame), James Hatton, J.C. Brazil, and others to be announced.
