For 2011, the convention moved to the Holiday Inn Evansville Airport Hotel, changed dates to April, and expanded to three days. For 2012 & 2013, the convention stayed in the same location with similar dates.[1] [3] The convention in 2015 was held at the Old National Events Plaza.[4] In 2017, EvilleCon moved to the Holiday Inn Evansville Airport.[5] EvilleCon 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] [7] EvilleCon 2021 was also cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] [9]
