Revision as of 07:18, 27 June 2011

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 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.
