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. 

To add an entry to this list or update an existing entry, simply send
mail to trek-info@scam.berkeley.edu with the following information:
