About ConCarolinas
When: May 30-June 1, 2014
Where: Charlotte Hilton University Place - Charlotte, NC
ConCarolinas is a general multi-genre multi-media convention. They call themselves a sci-fi convention but in truth they cover all speculative fiction - science fiction, fantasy and horror.It hosts a variety of fandom related events and guests, including gaming, discussion panels, costume events, music events like Klingon Karaoke, charity auction, SCA events, fan groups like the 501st Legion, Starfleet, and Klingon Assault Group, and something different every year.
In 2003 they held their first full-blown 3-day Science Fiction con - a longer Con than the 2-day 2002 "Prequel" the previous year. It was larger than the mini-con, using more space, having more panels, writing seminars, a bigger dealer room and more guests, including Guest of Honor David Weber. Since then, ConCarolinas has grown to be one of the more respected and talked about cons in the region.
ConCarolinas was a fan-based group that was originally sponsored by South Eastern Convention Fandom, Inc (SECFi), and as of 2008, incorporated into their own ConCarolinas, Inc., a nonprofit organization. They are a regional committee, pulling the majority of its members of our ConCom from North and South Carolina.
The ConCom has years of convention and fandom experience, with its members having been involved in running Stellarcon, MACE, IC99, ROC-of-AGES, Bab-Trek, FanFaire, Chattacon, Philcon, the UNCC Science Fiction & Fantasy Guild and others.
The guest of honor for the 2014 ConCarolinas is author George R.R. Martin. See the link at the top of the page to read more about him.
