Detcon1
NASFiC 11, Detcon1, was a convention held July 17–20, 2014, at the Renaissance Center Marriott, Detroit. Since 1975, the World Science Fiction Society has held a North American Science Fiction Convention in years when Worldcon is outside North America; in this case, Loncon 3 in London, England.
Guests of Honor: Steven Barnes, John Picacio, Bernadette Bosky, Arthur D. Hlavaty, Kevin J. Maroney, Helen Greiner, Bill Sutton, and Brenda Sutton. Chairman: Tammy Coxen. Chairs Emeritus: Roger Sims and Fred Prophet.
The bid committee was Detroit in 2014, which narrowly defeated Phoenix in 2014 in the 2014 NASFiC Site Selection at LoneStarCon 3, the 2013 Worldcon.
The daily newsletter was called Internal ConBustion and pubbed six issues.
Features included a track of Michigan fanhistory programming and related exhibits, including a recap of the memorial exhibit about longtime Detroit BNF Howard DeVore originally presented at L.A.con IV in 2006 (where Howard, who died in 2005, was to be fan goh).
