Hi. I'm a guest.

I'm the community programmer at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, KS. For the last 3 years, we've hosted McConnell Con and each year we've grown this event for our Airmen and their Families. Our next event is June 6, 2026. Would it be possible to get added to your list? I would be happy to directly provide more event details via email.

My email is mcconnellunite@gmail.com or jonathan.pic.1@us.af.mil
