The Assembly Events

CrimeCon is the ultimate true crime event. From experts to enthusiasts and from storytellers to survivors – CrimeCon creates a community of true crime enthusiasts, advocates and supporters, all with a common interest and a passion for the true crime genre.

CrimeCon was born as a partnership with Red Seat Ventures following their success with CrimeCon in the USA. With the increased consumption of true crime content and enthusiasm for the industry rising in the UK and Europe, CrimeCon UK was born.

Since the first event in 2021, CrimeCon UK has amassed a loyal community of guests and contributors who join year on year, growing exponentially as brand awareness has grown and word of the CrimeCon experience has been shared.

Currently and for the next 3 years, CrimeCon UK is thrilled to be partnered with CBS Reality, the number one factual entertainment channel in the UK.
The Assembly not only manages the operational delivery of the event, but has complete overall control of the brand, contribution, partnership and guest experience – all curated to ensure that CrimeCon UK is an unforgettable experience.

The CrimeCon UK is consistently expanding, with 2022 seeing an additional convention added to the annual schedule in Glasgow – the popularity of which has seen it become a regularly scheduled event which acts as a real testament to the community we continue to build.

The CrimeCon UK brand has also launched the True Crime Awards, with 2023 acting as it’s inaugural year. The True Crime Awards bring together content creators from across the true crime landscape in TV, Podcasting and Publishing to celebrate the dedication, research and emotion that goes into content creation in the genre.
