It appears that more and more conventions lately have been trying to get off the ground using Kickstarter or the less famous IndieGogo to raise funds to start their conventions. And more and more are not getting anywhere, because what Kickstarter and IndieGogo are very good at is in hiding their failed attempts and spotlighting successful projects.
According to the Verge, fewer than 1 in 10 IndieGogo projects are fully funded. And according to the Kickstarter's stats page, there have been 159,919 launched projects, and 65,502 successfully funded projects. KickStarter's higher ratio is likely because KickStarter appears to have tougher initial launch screening requirements.
Here are a few convention projects going on right now... some of which may be in hot water (3% after 7 days, and a little over 1% after 2 days...).
Here are a few more failing or failed convention kickstarters:
