In the decade since Person of Interest ended, fans have never stopped talking about the show. Contingency Con started as an idea to bring those conversations together — to celebrate fan creativity, explore the show's ideas, and compare the fictional world of the Machine with the reality we're living in.
We're building a weekend of programming made entirely by fans, for fans. If you have something to say about this show, we want to hear it.
Calling all Person of Interest artists. Each artist gets a dedicated space in a themed Discord gallery, organized like museum floors and rooms, with full credit and linkback included. Any medium, any style, new or existing work.
