Play On Con is an annual gaming and science fiction convention held in the Birmingham Metropolitan Area, typically on or near a summer holiday weekend. It is presented by a convention company known as the League of Fandom and Gaming and appears to be the only convention they currently hold.

The organizers of Play On Con focus on gaming of all kinds, board, card, role-playing, and miniature wargames, plus audience participation activities such as trivia contests. Celebrity guests are kept to a minimum. The convention also features gaming tournaments, a dealers' room, and parties.

The first Play On Con was held July 3-6, 2008 at the Best Western Birmingham Airport Hotel. Play On Con 2 was held May 22-25, 2009 at the Alta Vista Hotel & Conference Center in Birmingham.

Play On Con 3 was held July 8-11, 2010 at Rime Garden Inn & Suites in Irondale. Guests included Andrew Greenberg, initial developer of Vampire: The Masquerade, and Sean Patrick Fannon, creator of high fantasy role-playing game setting Shaintar. Entertainment was provided by hypnotist David Fonteneau and musician Sean Hagler.
