What is Confluence?



Confluence is:

Confluence is about programming that lets fans of science fiction and fantasy hear about the views and visions of some of the leading authors, editors, and critics in the genre.

To complement the panel discussions, Confluence also has a full slate of art demos by several very accomplished artists, and entertainment items that span the spectrum from poetry readings to filk concerts to the annual farce presented by the Parallax Second Players. Never a dull moment, but if you need a break you can't go wrong by spending some time in our well-provisioned consuite chatting with guests and other members.

Still not convinced? Then read this these Blogs from last year's conference:

Dave Wheeler Dave Alway Lawrence Dean
Mary Bertke John Hall
