About
What is a Westercon? Why are we running it? And who are we anyway?
Well, we are SFSFC, a Bay Area based fan group that exists to run science fiction conventions. You can find out more about us here.
Westercon is a convention that travels around the west coast of the USA. Individual fan groups bid for the right to hold Westercon each year. We won the right to hold the convention in 2011 You can find out more about the convention here.
What about that Worldcon in Reno? The 2011 World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon), also known as Renovation, will be in Reno, Nevada, about six weeks after our Westercon. They are not holding a Westercon, and we are not holding a Worldcon. Westercon and Worldcon are different conventions, although both are selected using a similar bidding process.
