Readercon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Readercon is an annual science fiction convention, held every July in the Boston, MA area (most recently in Burlington, MA). It was founded by Bob Colby and Eric Van in the 1980s with the goal of focusing exclusively on science fiction in the written form (on the rare occasion that there is a discussion held about non-written science fiction, it will have a tongue-in-cheek title such as "Our biannual media panel"). Past guests of honor have included authors such as Kim Stanley Robinson, Hal Clement, Joe Haldeman and China Miéville.
