ConFusion is a small regional SF convention (700-800 people) held in SouthEast Michigan roughly the third weekend of January each year. It is hosted by the Stilyagi Air Corps / AASFA.

ConFusion is a general science fiction convention that has five Guest of Honor categories, usually Author, Scientist, Artist, Fan, and Toastmaster. Programming is strong in all of these topics and also in Filk and Gaming. Special events include a Dance and a Masquerade. Special features of ConFusion include its KidFusion program track and childcare available Saturday evening/night.
