KapCon 18 in 2009 was held on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th of January at Wellington College.
The first KapCon in the current unbroken chain of yearly events was held in 1993 at Coastlands Mall in Paraparaumu, on the Kapiti Coast, organized by David Ward. In 1995 David moved to Wellington to attend Victoria University, and so KapCon, originally named for the Kapiti region, became Wellington's regular annual role-playing convention
