We are a convention that is run by, and for, people who are brought together by their desire to share an interest in Science Fiction, more commonly known as Fans.

The written word, TV and movies, animation, comics, the visual arts, podcasts, and forms of media yet invented. It comes from all across the world. Science Fiction is the genre of possibilities, it is only right that this is reflected in the way that Science Fiction is experienced.
