[edit] History
The Duluth Gamers' Convention Association (DGCA) was created in July of 2007 by Jesse Abrahamson, Robert Fensterman, Jarrod Kintzi, Lyle Koesterman, Josh Lukens, Kaylinn Stormo, and Luke Wallrich. Together, they decided that the Duluth, Minnesota area had gone too long without an exceptional convention for gamers. They organized the DGCA to deliver the Duluth area's finest convention. D-Con is the outcome of this groups efforts.
