(Did you mean a different Baycon?)


The regional Baycon has been held in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1982. Originally, it was sponsored by Artistic Solutions, Inc., a for-profit corporation (though it apparently did not pass profits on to its owners). In 2023, it was taken over by the Society for the Promotion of Speculative Fiction, a newly-formed 501(c)3 non-profit.
