Defunct and on-hiatus conventions
These are notable conventions that have at one time existed, but have either gone on hiatus for more than one year, were merged into other conventions, or have finished operating entirely. Defunct conventions are listed here when where there is an official or reliable announcement and/or the convention's website appears dead. Conventions that are cancelled for a given year, are marked as "On Hiatus".
