All-Con is a three-day event held annually in the Dallas, Texas, area. All-Con provides an umbrella of content supporting fans of science fiction, fantasy, Renaissance, anime, costuming, theater/performing arts, mystery, art, crafts, collecting, and filmmaking.
To help 'give back' there are several charity events at the convention every year. The All-Con motto is "We Serve The Fan Community."
