Morphology
The meaning 'an organized event for fans of fantasy' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'fantasy' (the genre) with 'convention' (a gathering). This noun+noun composition follows a common, compositional pattern in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Fantasy convention comes from fans of fantasy stories gathering at a convention, a big meeting where people wear dragon and wizard costumes, join panels, and meet authors. So, it now means 'an event where fans of fantasy meet and celebrate their favorite stories'.
