CactusCon was the 4th North American Science Fiction Convention, held in Phoenix, Arizona, on September 3–7, 1987, at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix, Adams Hilton, and Phoenix Convention Center.[1][2] This NASFiC was held because Brighton, England, was selected as the location for the 1987 Worldcon.[3]

After "Britain in '87" was selected over the Phoenix bid as the World Science Fiction Convention to be held in 1987 (as "Conspiracy '87" in Brighton, England), the WSFS Business Meeting directed that a written ballot election be held that afternoon to select a NASFiC site for that year. Essentially unopposed, Phoenix was announced as the winner the next day.[3]
