Leap Con

Leap Con is a series of for-profit Quantum Leap conventions held in Southern California. 
Some cons were by Creation Con, and others were not. 
The first Quantum Leap con was called "Quantum Con"; the name was changed to "Leap Con" the next year. Most fans probably don't make this distinction and refer to them all as "Leap Con."
== 1992 ("Quantum Con")==
It was organized by Creation Entertainment, and took place March 1, 1992 at the Universal Hilton Hotel in Universal City, CA. 
The day before was Leap Weekend, where Dean Stockwell got his Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
There is a transcript of the main panel (Bellasario, Stockwell, Bakula) printed in The Imaging Chamber #10, as well as online here.
Many photos and videos are here.
It was at this first "Leap Con" that a California Crew music video was re-edited and shown without its creators' permission, something that fans had mixed feelings about:
