Activities

Activities are the special things that make CONvergence so much fun to go to. After attending a panel or two, you can relax and listen to live music at Mainstage, head down to COF2E2, CONvergence's free espresso bar, to chat with newfound friends, or cruise the myriad of room parties on your way to Consuite to grab some munchies. And if you're still awake after all that fun, why not head over to Gaming, or to Masquerade?

Guests of Honor

2006 Guests of Honor:

Programming

Programming items at CONvergence are as varied as its attendees. There are discussion panels, workshops, "how-tos", and other formats. Generally, a programming item is three to five people talking about - or demonstrating - something that they know. Programming slots are an hour in length, with half an hour between each panel to allow for times when the conversation is so interesting that it just can't be contained in sixty minutes. Panels are informal, and audience participation is encouraged.

For more information, please check out the *Programming* section of our site.

Music and Entertainment

There are very few things that CONvergence attendees like better than a funky beat. That may be part of the reasoning behind the convention having multiple venues for music. Check out Mainstage for live bands such as Psychopop and Zurround. Connie's Space Lounge features the latest in electronic and body paint technology. And if that's not your style, check out COF2E2 for a wide variety of music, from folk rock to experimental, with filking somewhere along the way.

Socializing

Conventions are wonderful new ways to meet new people. Chat with a newfound friend in the hot tub, check out the dozens of poolside room parties, or exchange ICQ numbers over a bowl of M&M's at Consuite. The wide variety of ways to make new friends is one of the reasons that CONvergence is justly described as "a gathering with 1700 of your closest friends you haven't met yet."

Shopping

To make your convention weekend complete, CONvergence offers a dealer's room stocked with all the science fiction and fantasy related merchandise a fan could desire. From period clothing to ceremonial daggers, vintage Dr. Who figurines to the latest Neal Stephenson novel, the dealer's room has it all.

And of course, what better way to remember your wonderful weekend than by purchasing the essential swag otherwise known as official CONvergence merchandise? Show your fandom pride all year round with a commemorative CONvergence t-shirt.

And last but not least, satisfy your consumer cravings at the art show. Here, you can purchase any number of science fiction and fantasy-related merchandise, including one-of-a-kind items as well as prints, from well-known artists as well as fellow fans.
