Liburnicon is a convention which gathers fans of science fiction, fantasy, advanced science disciplines, history and mythology. It's being organized by Kulturni front, a non-profit organization from Opatija, Croatia. The convention is usually held in July, once in a year, in the ICEJ facilities (Journalist's hall, Nazorova 2), Opatija. Young people from all over Croatia, but also from abroad, come to Opatija to socialize. First Liburnicon (former "Abbacon") was held in 2006.

Among the most important events at Liburnicon, special mention should be given to lectures of numerous well-known scientists and professors like dr. sc. Amir Muzur, dr. sc. Marijan Vejvoda, archeologist Ranko Starac, and the reputable croatian astronomer Korado Korlevic.

Aside from quality lectures and projections, many other entertaining events are organized such as children's workshops, LAN computer gaming, quizzes with prizes, pen&paper role playing and board game tournaments, movies, music and various original and funny Liburnicon games like "Star trek bowling".^[1]
