Space City Con is
an all-ages festival of comics, sci-fi, fantasy, gaming, literature, and art,
in the spirit of Houston, Texas! Envisioned as a "geek festival with
free parking," our goal is to put on the best convention possible for current
generations of fans, and instill a love of comics, Sci-fi and fantasy in the
next generation. It was founded in 2012, and with only 5 months to
prepare, the event drew nearly 2000 unique individuals, most of whom attended
all weekend.
We are the Gulf
Coast’s newest fan culture convention, offering a robust mix of authors,
artists, comics, sci-fi, fantasy, anime, gaming, costuming, fan group
networking, literature, writing workshops and more, in a venue meant to be more
approachable to families and children. SCC is conveniently located
at the Westchase Marriott conference hotel, August 2 - 4, 2013. The
Westchase area has a great selection of restaurants and attractions, for
breakfast, lunch, dinner, or after-hours entertainment.
Just as Houston
has a broad economic mix in aerospace, energy, manufacturing, transportation;
it boasts the world’s largest concentration of healthcare and research
institutions. Houston also has the first-ranked port in the United States and
has always been home to an ever-growing international community, along with the
famous NASA Johnson Space Center and Mission Control. In this same way, Space
City Con will be a gathering of fans of all ages, with an exchange of pop
culture passions. More than entertainment, a place to escape for a while, forge
lasting friendships, and connect with talented creators across a spectrum of
genres.
Space City Con
embraces the Kids Need to Read foundation, since our founders consider these
elements as fuel for creative thinking, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and
most of all, expanding the boundaries of what is known, into dreams and a
yearning for what is unknown, what is unseen…but can be painted by the
incredible human heart, mind, and spirit. Space City Con wishes to pass on the
torch from one generation to the next, echoing the cry for “Inspiring
Imagination!”
