Welcome to ConRunner, a Why and How-To reference for Convention organizers.

ConRunner was started in July 2005, and we are currently working on 337 articles. You are invited to join us, and to help make them better.

We hope to document all aspects of running a successful convention. Please browse our pages, and if you have something to add, please do so. Registration is required to edit or add pages, however anyone may browse articles.

Featured Article - Administrative Affairs

Administrative Affairs include all the paperwork involved with making a successful convention. This includes note taking, meeting facilitation, good internal communications, and excellent file keeping. It is establishing good personal points of contact, and assigning and reporting on areas of responsibility.

It also involves good contract negotiation and financial planning abilities. Each of these can make or break a convention (and its organizers) from a functional, financial, and legal liability point of view.
