Kemocon 2027 (Dates TBA)

KemoconProject’s official about page says Kemocon has been held once a year since 2008 and identifies Kemocon19 in 2026. That organizer-confirmed annual schedule supports carrying the next annual edition as a forward-calendar draft, though the reviewed official pages do not announce specific 2027 dates, venue, or theme; those details remain unset.
