“Diversicon is a project of SF Minnesota, a multicultural, multimedia organization dedicated to improving contacts among groups and individuals interested in speculative fiction within and outside the traditional SF community. Our continuing mission: to provide the most thoughtful Programming and the mellowest, most welcoming Parties of any Minnesota SF convention, and to make our state’s SF community more closely reflect the cultural diversity of Minnesota in the third millennium. Diversicon wants to be one of your con options for 2010. Diversicon has the highest level of participant involvement in our panels of any con in the Twin Cities. Our attendees are what makes it a great con.
This year we are looking at the careers of two writers who each contributed things to science fiction that will have them read and remembered into the next century. Diversicon’s auction is a great time to get bargains on a wide variety of items, plus you’re welcome to donate things…. So join us for a great weekend.”
