Local Binghamton SciFi Con, first one in the area of any size or announcement.
We invite you to be part of Binghamton, NY's first ever SciFi Convention being held at Roberson Museum and Science Center. Roberson features great amenities with tremendous space including a three story museum, an historic mansion and a Digital Planetarium. It's the perfect setting as we host fans of every age and imagination.
RoberCon will feature a special guest appearance by Anne Serling, daughter of “The Twilight Zone†creator, Rod Serling. She will appear at RoberCon from 1-3pm offering a reading of her book “As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling.†Serling will also participate in an audience Q&A and sign and sell copies of her book.
A combination of over 20 business vendors and Fan Groups representing SciFi, fantasy, games, videos, comics, podcasts, art, steampunk, costuming and more will take part in the event at Roberson.
This might be kinda fun, I'm thinking I will try and attend maybe we can get some local folks and we can promot the site with some business cards and what not. Local guys think you can or want to make it?

Well we did it. Was okay, mosty cosplay stuff, I handed out a dozen cards and dropped more off at a deck area.
Picked up a book for a local rpg designer, got it signed, might be worth checking out, "fox magic" also on rpgnow

Hopefully a few people show up. Even if we can bag 1, that'd be a score.
