'''Conrunner.net''', '''.com''' and '''.org''' are established for the purpose of providing a collaborative place to deposit the collective wisdom of Convention Committees from all aspects of Fandom.  Old folks pass on, new folks come on the scene, and we as a community need a good reference for the things that worked, things that failed, and things that could have been good but for some sad misfortune.

'''Remember this''':  The whole point of the excercise is to have more and better conventions for ourselves and those who follow us.  We come in Peace for All Mankind (and all you other beings too).
