Welcome to ConCarolinas MySpace. We made this MySpace so that you can get to know us and maybe even consider attending. We're just a bunch of regular folks trying to put on a decent con for the Carolinas. We'd love it if you come out to see us. We really do have a great time.

ConCarolinas is a general Science Fiction convention. It hosts a variety of fandom related events and guests, including gaming, SCA events, special group guests like the 501st Stormtroopers, and something different every year.

In 2003 we held our first full-blown 3-day Science Fiction con - a longer Con than the 2-day 2002 "Prequel". It was larger than the mini-con, using more space, having more panels, writing seminars, a bigger dealer room and more guests, including Guest of Honor David Weber. Since then, ConCarolinas has grown to be one of the more respected and talked about cons in the region.

ConCarolinas is a fan-based group sponsored by South Eastern Convention Fandom, Inc (SECFi), a nonprofit organization. We are a regional committee, pulling the majority of its members of our ConCom from North and South Carolina.

The ConCom has years of convention and fandom experience, with its members having been involved in running Stellarcon, MACE, IC99, ROC-of-AGES, Bab-Trek, FanFaire, Chattacon, Philcon, the UNCC Science Fiction & Fanstay Guild and others.

If you would like to join our concom, e-mail us with what you would like to help us out in. We are always open to new members, but you need to be prepared to work.

The goal of our group is to develop a strong regional, general Science Fiction con in Charlotte, capable of hosting larger events such as WorldCon, DeepSouthCon and NASFiC.
