The Story of RavenCon
RavenCon, first held in 2006 by a passionate group of local fans, is a vibrant Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror convention. Our mission is to provide a dynamic forum where fans and professionals can engage and explore their interests in literature, art, gaming, podcasting, costuming, science, and music. We work hard to provide an action-packed weekend filled with exciting activities for everyone!
1926: Hugo Gernsback coins the term “Science Fiction” and launches Amazing Stories, the first publication dedicated exclusively to the new genre.
2026: RavenCon partners with Amazing Stories magazine to host the OFFICIAL 100th Anniversary of Science Fiction (and 20 years of RavenCon)!
