ConComCon, or "C-Cubed", is a conference for convention organizers held each June in the Pacific Northwest. It is held under the auspices of the Seattle Westercon Organizing Committee ("SWOC"), which in addition to hosting ConComCon has also hosted four Westercons and the North American Science Fiction Convention ("NASFiC") in 2005, as well as helping other conventions in the area, most recently the new filk convention, ConFilkt. ConComCon has been held at various sites across the Northwest, including Seattle, Portland, Vancouver (BC), and sites in central Washington state.

    If the I-5/Hwy-99 crossing is busy, get off I-5 at exit 275 for Highway 543. This crosses the border not quite a mile east of I-5. Take BC Highway 15 a mile north to 8 Avenue and turn left (west) to get back to Highway 99 towards downtown Surrey. This only takes a few minutes longer than going via I-5, and will be worth it if the Peace Arch crossing has a long delay.
