PaizoCon UK is a fan-organized British convention inaugurated in 2009 and based on the model of the original PaizoCon.

2009

The inaugural event was held at Aston University, Birmingham on July 10–12, 2009. The itinerary included a trip to a balti house and five slots of Pathfinder Society games. Special guests included Richard Pett, Christine Schneider, and Ben Wenham, each variously playing or running games alongside other attendees. The convention was organised after news broke earlier in the year that GenCon UK had fallen through. Dave Harrison was responsible for overall organisation of the conference, aided by Sarah Harrison and Rob Silk. Some research work in the Birmingham area was carried out by another then member of the Paizo messageboards community. All attendees and guests seemed to have enjoyed themselves over the weekend, and when Dave asked the room at the end of the convention if they would be interested in a further PaizoCon UK in 2010, the answer was a unanimous "yes".

2010

This event took place at Aston University, Birmingham, on July 17–18, 2010 (with a repeat of the previous year's balti house trip for early arrivals planned for the evening of the 16th). The senior organisers arranged a multi-table game as a special event for the Saturday evening slot.
