ABOUT CON CAROLINAS:
ConCarolinas is a general multi-genre multi-media convention. We called ourselves a sci-fi convention but in truth we 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 Stormtroopers, Starfleet, and Klingon Assault Group, and something different every year.
In 2003 we held our 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 is a fan-based group orginally sponsored by South Eastern Convention Fandom, Inc (SECFi), and as of 2008, incorporated into our own ConCarolinas, Inc., a nonprofit organization. We are a regional committee, pulling the majority of its members of our ConCom from North and South Carolina.
