First, a note.  My contacts have informed me that Creation Con has
adopted a new policy whereby they are selling "preferred seating"
tickets at increased rates for all of their conventions.  These tickets
entitle you to sit in the front five rows during guest speakers'
talks.  The cost of these tickets may vary for different conventions,
so you should contact Creation Con for more information.  It is not clear
whether or not this policy will be enforced at every convention - the
Sacramento Creation Con flyer made no mention of it, although the Fangoria
convention on the opposite page did.

SUBMITTING CONVENTION INFORMATION:

I will *not* post long, descriptive articles advertising conventions.  They
take up too much bandwidth to be warranted.  In order for a convention to
be listed here, it must have some obvious connection to Star Trek.  For
instance, a comics convention is not acceptable, but one with Michael Dorn
as a guest speaker is.
