Val-Con | About

About Us

We are a team of passionate Valheim players, modders, and content creators who came together around this ambitious project. We see the value of the Valheim community, and the creativity and human connections it fosters.

Our mission is to bring together the Valheim community, and our long-term vision is to launch the first in-person Valheim convention to bring the community to life and further strengthen the connections made across the globe.

Our values are Community, Respect, Inclusion, Integrity, Creativity, and Accessibility.

About Val-Con

Val-Con was born out of the desire to bring the Valheim community together, including both regular players and high-profile content creators together in a celebration of everything Viking. Our ambition is to make it a recurring event, which will start online. On our roadmap is to launch an in-person convention in the long term.

Val-Con is a 100% fan-led event and is not affiliated with Iron Gate or Coffee Stain Studios.

We run this event on a non-profit basis, volunteering our personal time and resources for the love of Valheim and its wonderful community. If you would like to make a contribution of your time, or a donation towards our running costs (website hosting, server hosting, promotional and printing costs, and other expenses related to the organisation of this event and future ones), you can visit the Contribute Page.

About Valheim

The game that started it all for us, Valheim is developed by Iron Gate studio, based in Skövde, Sweden. The game began its development as a solo project in 2017, until Iron Gate was founded as a company in 2019. Valheim was released into Early Access in February 2021.

“A brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players, set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by viking culture. Battle, build, and conquer your way to a saga worthy of Odin’s patronage!”
