View source for Convention Calendar

Conventions do not all happen every year or on the same weekend every year. This '''Convention Calendar''' attempts to capture a rough picture of which conventions happen when, and where, to promote the sharing of conrunning knowledge.  At the moment the list is very limited: Please add your convention.

If you are looking for a more current ongoing list of conventions including [[Guests of Honor]], Hotel Rates and [[Registration]] information, subscribe to the google [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=gdtplkde4u17gp43boqmdj7ch8%40group.calendar.google.com Science Fiction Convention Calendar] created by Kim Kofmel. Not all listings are complete (depending on what information was available on the web when the entry was made).  Updates can be sent to houstonfandom@gmail.com.
