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 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.
For historical listings, the SFLovers Convention List by Saul Jaffe and Sharon Sbarsky has useful links but is not kept current any more.
