History

The oldest fan-run San Diego science fiction convention, the convention seeks to be all things to all persons, and thus is dedicated to science fiction and fantasy; to art, literature, and media; to serious scholarship and just plain fun. The first ConDor was held in 1993. Author Octavia Butler, and producer/director J. Michael Straczynski were the guests of honor.
