Science Fiction Convention with Fantasy programming
CONvergence is a convention for fans of science fiction and fantasy in all media held annually on the first full weekend of July. CONvergence was launched in 1999 and has grown to be the largest convention of its kind in Minnesota and beyond!
Fans of sci-fi and speculative fiction literature, movies, television, and books planted a flag with gamers, costumers, writers, and artists to create a fan-run, non-profit convention that would be an inclusive, enthusiastic gathering of all the the clans that make up genre fandom. Some of these founding volunteers had many years of experience working on sci-fi conventions, and others had none at all. Their hope was to have at least 500 people attend their inaugural convention in 1999.
The first CONvergence had an attendance of 1,500.
20 years later CONvergence has grown to over 6,000 members and is still going strong.
