Science Fiction Convention
Minicon is a volunteer run, general science fiction convention held every year on Easter weekend in or near Minneapolis, Minnesota. It has been run by the Minnesota Science Fiction Society (MNStF) since 1968. This is not a large, celebrity convention where you buy a ticket, and then still pay to get into every room you enter. Your registration fee covers the entire convention!
Attendees can expect to find a full slate of programming (panels, readings, signings, etc.), costuming, films, gaming (open and organized), a teen lounge, art show, dealers, a kids' room, a science room, filk and folk music, a consuite and bar, room parties, and various special events.
Minicon may be on the smaller side (about 700-800 members), but it's fun, goofy, and inclusive.
