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 - Operations Support

Operations Support is about providing all the hardware, software, equipment, or supplies needed to accomplish one of the activities in Operations. The person responsible for Operations Support will work closely with the person responsible for Operations to coordinate their two activities. The two functions could even merge, depending on the convention.

The labor to do the work will come from the Volunteers recruited for the convention. The Operations Support chief will have to know what needs to be done, and how many are needed to do it.

Major Functions

The convention organization has many internal functions, all of which work together towards the goal of conducting a successful convention. Each function has its own little quirks that need to be handled well to get the whole job done.
