Notes

Maricopa Con 8 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 crisis. It was later said to be postponed until 2021, which would become its eighth year.

Maricopa Con 10 was originally scheduled to be at the Sheraton Phoenix Crescent, but a transformer blowout damaged their electrical systems and the venue closed for five months of repairs. Maricopa Con accordingly moved to the Wyndham Phoenix Airport/Tempe.
