CitizenCon logo

CitizenCon, also called CitCon, and sometimes Star Citizen Con, is a yearly StarCitizen:Star Citizen fan convention organized by Cloud Imperium Games as an anniversary to celebrate another year with the Star Citizen community, look back on all that has been accomplished, as well as to look forward to upcoming game content.

The event takes place in a different location every year, and has evolved to include StarCitizen:cosplay contests,<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref> memorabilia, sales, prizes, community booths,<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref> and more.

"We planned the CitizenCon event to celebrate the anniversary with the team, who were scheduled to meet in Austin for our first company-wide development summit. As the event came together, we realized that we needed to include the community that made this game possible."<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
