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 usually benefit the Mayo Clinic. In honor and memory of long-time attendee and volunteer Steve Godecke, our proceeds from our 2019 convention will benefit Hospice of Mercy.
