ClexaCon is an annual media and entertainment convention for the female LGBTQ community and its allies. The convention's name was born from two popular queer characters from the CW's The 100, Clarke and Lexa. When Lexa was killed off of the show unexpectedly, members of the queer community responded by forming ClexaCon in hopes that it would create discussion and positive change in regards to the poor representation and treatment of LGBTQ characters portrayed on television and in film. The inaugural ClexaCon was held at Bally's Hotel and Casino from March 3–5, 2017, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
