The Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention is an annual comic book convention that has taken place in Memphis, Tennessee since 2010.[1] It typically occurs in early fall. The convention takes place over a period of three days, and has had notable guests including Tom Kenny (voice of SpongeBob SquarePants), Denise Crosby (of Star Trek), and others.[2]

The event usually begins with a presentation by a notable figure in the comic book industry, and is then followed by three days of events at local Memphis venues, centering on a hotel.[3] Schoolchildren are also able to attend the event and attend a "Geek 101" which included various hands-on activities.[4]

In 2012, the convention was also the host of the Unreal Film Festival and Bricks & Heroes (a Lego conference).[5]
