I-CON
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I-CON is a yearly fan convention, originally held on the campus of the State University of New York at Stony Brook on Long Island, in Suffolk County, New York. First held in 1982, I-CON has become a very eclectic convention. The programming there includes things normally found at different types of convention, like speeches by and talks with science fiction authors, extensive gaming, anime and furry fandom, multiple movie showings, and medieval programming, as well as live performances.
I-CON is jointly held by ICON Science Fiction, Inc., a tax-exempt educational foundation, and the I-CON Campus Chapter of Stony Brook.
In 2009, I-CON will move to a new location at the Brentwood campus of Suffolk County Community College, due to construction at the Stony Brook site.
