Explaining Science Fiction Conventions Most science fiction conventions are open to the public. This means that for the cost of a membership, the average person gains access to: author readings, panel discussions, demonstrations, preview showings, the dealers’ room, the art show, dances, parties, costume shows, and more. Conventions usually are two to five days long, and are held at hotels and convention centres. They range in size from very small get-togethers to very large World cons that may have up to 10,000 people attending. There are conventions entirely run by volunteers, and there are conventions run to make money. The volunteer run conventions are usually less expensive to attend, yet just as much, if not more, fun. The conventions that are run to make money are often called media conventions. There are usually more actors, directors, and producers at media conventions. Karl Johanson, editor of Neo-opsis Science Fiction Magazine, has this to say about science fiction conventions: “Science fiction conventions are the same as regular business conventions, except that with business conventions you go to boring meetings all day and party all night, and with science fiction conventions you go to fun meetings all day and party all night.” |
