The Machine has a new number — and it's yours.

The Contingency Con, a free virtual fan convention celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Person of Interest series finale. July 31–August 2, 2026. Three days. All timezones. Every corner of fandom, together.

Programming submissions are open now. If you have an idea for a panel, discussion, or presentation — this is your invitation. All experience levels welcome.

This is a fan-run, community-driven event — free admission, no paywalls, built entirely by people who love this show. We're just getting started, and we want you here for it.
