ConBravo! is an annual fan-run anime, gaming, and new media convention held during July in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, since 2010. The convention was created as a multi-genre event which has given it much of its framework, but has since begun to tout its specialization in the aforementioned areas.[1]

It is notable for the special attention it has paid to online personalities,[2] including the first Canadian speaking appearances of Doug Walker, Noah Antwiler, Angry Joe, Nathan Barnatt, and James Rolfe in 2011 and 2012.[3] Further, its 2012 show was the first time Rolfe and Walker had appeared at a convention together,[4] revisiting an online rivalry which saw a boom in popularity for the latter.
